Test Conditions

The Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052) is connected.

Perform a road test. A second technician is needed.

- Select the "Clutch basic setting" function on the Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052) under " Guided Functions" in the "02 - Transmission electronics" directory.

Follow all instructions on the Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052) exactly so the basic setting can be completed.

The basic setting with the Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052) performs a basic, quick clutch adaptation. The current clutch slip point and the clutch wear are determined and saved.

Generally, the clutch adaptation is performed during daily driving according to clutch wear. However, this adaptation can only be reached under certain driving conditions so the "clutch basic setting" must be performed with the repairs listed above. This ensures the driving and shift quality are adjusted optimally.
