a Check that the measurement device functions prop-

a Set units to ˚C.

a Set the device's sensitivity to 0.1˚C.
a Check the two sensors T1 and T2 in order to calcu-
late the correction (∆) to be applied to the measure-
ment (T1 - T2). the two sensors must indicate the
same measurement under the same conditions.
Check the sensors by:

- bringing the ends of the 2 sensors together until


they touch,

- placing the sensors in the air flow of an air vent,

- setting the passenger compartment fan assembly


to top speed.

- waiting for the value to become stable.

- recording the correction value (∆).

Note:
It is not necessary to start the vehicle. The
device display is in mode (∆T) = (T1 - T2).

WARNING
Note the difference and sign as soon as the tem-
perature becomes stable.
Calculate the correction (∆) = - (T1 - T2) to be
applied to the measurement (∆T).
Examples:
If (T1 - T2) = - 0.3˚C, correct the measurement
(∆T) by (∆) = + 0.3˚C
