On the technical specifications of the vehicle

  • In some cases, the lists of codes and/or the levels of equipment suggested by the Vehicle Identification form and the After Sales Plate are different. Why?

    Quite simply because they are not exactly the same thing. An example will help us understand this.

    Let us define a new vehicle, a Laguna, type B56F, on the vehicle form.

    Click on "Level of equipment". The list suggested is: E1, E2, E3.

    Now click on "After Sales Plate". The program requests that you enter the production number of the vehicle or the date of production. Let's take a production date between "MOD9805" and "MOD9909", for example. The After Sales Plate is displayed, and offers the following list of equipment levels: E2, E3, E5.

    The two lists offered are clearly quite different. Remember that we had to enter the production date to gain access to the After Sales Plate: this is because Dialogys requires this additional information to know what After Sales Plate data to suggest. In fact, this information depends on the following information:

    • the first three characters of the vehicle type (or "B56" in our example)
    • a period between two production dates.



    To return to our example,

    • the list "E2, E3, E5" thus provides all the possible values for the equipment level on vehicles manufactured between 9805 and 9909, for which the type begins with B56, which naturally includes the B56F vehicles, but also the B56H, B56J, B56L, etc.;
    • while the list "E1, E2, E3" corresponds to all the possible values for the equipment level on vehicle type B56F.

    None of the versions of Dialogys attempts to create the intersection of these lists based on all the known criteria (it would only be possible to offer the list "E2, E3" in either case for the vehicle defined). This functionality could be developed if there were sufficient demand (this is not evident at present because there is no real problem in selecting from two or three values given that the user is always working on an actual vehicle for which he knows the level of equipment) and after more a detailed analysis (because we must remember that the lists offered may, in any case, be subject to caution).

  • Why are the lists of codes and/or the levels of equipment suggested by the "Cross Documentation" and the After Sales Plate different?

    The lists from the "Cross documentation" are the same as those suggested at the outset on the Vehicle Identification form. Refer to the answer to the preceding question.
