Subsystems of the Motronic
Making allowance for efficiency and the
emissions standards, the engine control unit
coordinates the external and internal requests
and meets them by adjusting the available
control variables accordingly.
Torque-oriented engine
management
The Motronic ME 7.1 has a torque-
oriented functional structure.
This is made possible by the new
electronic accelerator function.
