Production time approx. 1-2 weeks

Description

Innovative features
Protecting the engine (safety function)
Driving at full load with the flaps closed can cause damage, so for safety reasons our module opens both flaps at a speed of approx. 4000 RPM to relieve the load on the engine.
Key reversal via original key
You have the option to reverse the flaps in Comfort as well as in Dynamic mode.
This means: If you're driving in Comfort mode with the flaps closed, but would prefer them to be open, no problem: Press the ESP button twice in succession to reverse the flaps.
Module deactivation via original button
You have the option to completely deactivate our flap control. To do so, simply hold down the "Automatic Start & Stop" button for approximately 5 seconds. Repeating this procedure will reactivate the module.
SSA memory function
The last state of the Start&Stop function is saved and restored after the engine restart.
