PROCEDURE
In the event the above situation occurs,
Determine the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the AWP (Aftersales Workplace) applications. If
needed, use the latest ISTA to work through test modules.
1. Is the current vehicle integration level:
Model
G05, G06, G07, G09
G60, G70
i20
U11

Target integration level
S18A-22-07-500 or higher and lower than S18A-23-11-530
G070-22-07-500 or higher and lower than G070-23-11-530
