What does it mean ?

Hi Gents,
Sorry to bother again. While fiddling to reset oil service I was pressing that button on the gauge cluster what appeared were these abbreviations & numbers as I press different codes would appear.
What do they actually mean ?

Thanks again & Happy New Year

The first part stands for Fahrgestellnummer, which means vehicle chassis number.
I assume the PA97956 is that number... hope that helps.

Be good if the hidden menu was of some value like a code reader. I think a few codes come up.

Yes, that would be much more useful, saying that it enabled me to see what the resting voltage of my battery was recently late at night without access to access to a multi meter, allowing me to sort out a new battery. I never really saw what else it did/could do

Apparently you can see the oil temp using this? That would be useful!

The e89 displays oil temperature anyway doesn’t it? :?

Ah, not sure. I'm referring to a 2003 model via a YouTube video clip I saw but it didn't actually tell me which codes referring to which settings.

Sorry for the confusion.

I think ccid codes come up.
