Anybody know what this does? PIWIS 2 / DME / Special functions / First start

 

I'm about to fire  up a new engine and I'm just curious what this function actually does.

Sounds like "handover" settings for car delivery.

Meaning that it just checks the systems before you start it? If I put the PIWIS in simulation mode and activate the function it just basically does its thing in the background and then says to start the engine. No way to know what the tester is doing during that screen. Who knows.....

When in shipment, several things on the car are set to inactive.  When the car gets to the dealer, the dealer puts the vehicle through "handover" to activate all system so that when a customer comes in and wants to test drive it during prepurchase, everything works.
