The electronic engine management system ensures optimum engine performance under all operating conditions. 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 precisely the same conditions, they are monitored individually by the knock control. If necessary the ignition point is shifted individually. 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 system in good time and notify the driver immediately. This also prevents increased pollutant emissions and unnecessary fuel consumption.
