The Vehicle tab

Once a vehicle is selected or connected on the Home tab, a new Vehicle tab is created for the vehicle. It is possible to have up to five Vehicle tabs active simultaneously.

The Vehicle tabs can be labelled with model year, customer name, license plate or additional vehicle attributes such as engine code and transmission. This helps you to easily keep track of vehicles and customers when more than one Vehicle tab is active simultaneously. The label can be modified on the Application Settings page.

A vehicle information bar is shown consistently under every selected vehicle's tab. This gives you instant access to certain useful details of the selected vehicle/customer. More customer and vehicle details are accessed by clicking a customer name or VIN.

The Vehicle tab has the following subtabs, from which you can handle the selected vehicle.

Note

The content of the Diagnostics subtab in VIDA differs depending on what diagnostic protocol the current vehicle uses. For further information, see Diagnostic protocols. For each Vehicle tab, you will only see one of the two possible Diagnostics subtabs.

The navigation on the subtabs' pages differs. See the article Navigation in VIDA for further information.
