    Notes

    Cruise control with work with just the SZL installed. Cruise control will only be displayed on the KOMBI high, and on no other KOMBI variant. Virginising the KOMBI is required for two things; to have the correct VIN number and to remove the tamper dot, and to have the correct mileage showing. Virginising is a specialist procedure which requires an EEPROM reader/writer.
