The electronic engine management system ensures optimum engine performance at all times. It regulates all engine-related functions and assemblies (see diagram). The results: optimum performance and torque with reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

Another important function of the system is cylinder-specific knock control. Since the six cylinders never all work under exactly the same conditions, they are monitored individually by the knock control. The ignition point is shifted individually, as and when necessary. This prevents damage to a cylinder or piston at high engine speeds and loads. The on-board diagnostics, which are compliant with European standards, ensure timely detection of any faults and defects that may occur in the exhaust and fuel systems and notify the driver immediately. This also prevents increased pollutant emissions and unnecessary fuel consumption.
