Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02089067A1] The invention concerns a method for controlling and activating indicators (121, 122, 221) of a vehicle instrument panel which consists in dividing the indicators into x groups (1, 2, 3, 4) of indicators (121, 122; 221) and in time multiplexing the groups (1, 2, 3, 4), by determining an effective value of instantaneous excitation of the indicators (121, 122, 221) and in regulating a form factor for multiplexed control and activation of the indicators (121, 122, 221) based on the difference between the effective excitation value and a setpoint value.
