4.9.5 Calibration and Tachograph
Fitting
The Continental Calibration Center will order the
Tachograph and fit the unit to the vehicle. EU
Legal legislation requires that before the vehicle
can be used on the road, the DTCO Tachograph
must be calibrated. The Digital Tachograph
activation
must
be completed by an authorized
VDO workshop. The Ford Dealer will organize the
Tachograph Calibration.
When the Tachograph is in an un-calibrated state
the vehicle speed indicator in the cluster may not
function or may indicate the incorrect vehicle
speed. The cluster within the vehicle will use the
speed signal from the Tachograph to drive the
speed gauge and an un-calibrated Tachograph
will not report the correct vehicle speed.
