4.8 Tachograph
The factory-fit Tachograph option uses a
Siemens VDO system. It is recommended,
therefore, that any vehicle that requires a
tachograph is sent to an authorised Siemens
VDO Tachograph Service Centre for system
installation and calibration.
Details of all recommended Service Centers can
be found on Siemens web site. This site also
contains details of current regulations and
tachograph operation.
