ALWAYS read and understand the “Control Conditions”/ “Ansteuerbedingung” which in this case say “Drehzahl > 1000 1/min = Rotational Speed (RPM) Greater Than 1,000 RPM.

(WITHOUT the Red English Translation/Notes 😉 Some IMPORTANT things to note about ANY “F6 Activations” Screen. When you press that Menu Selection sequence, you will see a screen like the THIRD attached screen. Control VANOS Solenoids & View Actual Cam Advance: DME > F6 > F1 > F4 VANOS: You can leave this menu (F10 Zuruck/ Go Back) to go to VANOS Screen, and newly-selected idle speed is maintained. If you Enter 1020 and click OK (so you can Test VANOS as described below), that will remain the idle speed maintained UNTIL you return to this screen and enter a different speed, OR use the F1 thru F4 buttons to change speed. See the 2nd attached INPA Screen for what that looks like. When you select the Auswahl/ Selection Button, a Dialog box is opened into which you can type ANY value between 0 and 2,000. Enter Specific Desired RPM: DME > F9 > F5 > F6 Auswahl “Selection”: OR, you can select F6 Auswahl (Selection) as described below. This screen as opened allows you to simply OBSERVE or view current setpoint & Actual Idle Speed (Live Data), BUT if you see the Submenu choices you can click on in the INPA “Taskbar”, you see you can add or subtract in increments of 10 or 100 RPM by simply clicking the buttons. When you press/click that Menu Selection sequence you should see the First Screen attached Below, which simply shows the current ACTUAL RPM, and the Setpoint or Requested speed: 664 & 660 RPM respectively in my case. Open DME > F9 System Diagnosis > F5 Increase Idle Speed: With INPA, it’s so simple, even I can do it. Also, you may want to reset your idle speed (Setpoint or Target Speed) if you find your warm engine idle too High/too Low. Some Functions or Activations, such as VANOS Activation described below, require a certain Idle Speed.
