Driver information Displays
The primary display for driver information is located in the instrument cluster. The coupe and
sedan have different cluster lettering and faces. The secondary display in the console con-
sists of the audio system and automatic climate control panel (if equipped with IHKA).
Two different radio types are available. One
with the integrated tape player and the other
radio incorporating a single in dash CD player.
Accessory switches are located in the console
below the heater control panel. These include
the ASC switch and the heated seat switches.
Later production vehicles (2000 M.Y.) utilize the
SZM (Center Console Switching Center) in
place of the separate switches.
A new design (push to open/pull up to close)
window switches are located in the center con-
sole on either side of the gear shift lever. The
power window circuits include the one-touch
and anti-trap features.
Instrument Cluster electronics and audio systems
are covered in the E46 Driver Information Chapter.
