Activations

Under the Activations tab you can find activations that are relevant for the selected vehicle. Activations make it possible to control certain components in the vehicle. For instance, you can turn certain features in the vehicle on and off or to run at different levels for functional diagnostics. As an example, the engine coolant fan in a vehicle can be activated to run at 33, 66 or 100 percent.
