Can anyone tell me how to use those control levers which is the cab view of a diesel locomotive after I upgrade my CS2 to v.4.2.1? I don't know where to find the information of that cab view?

The image you show is from a CS3 rather than a CS2
- same wallpaper but the CS2 does not offer a onscreen "STOP" and the exit icon is a "X" rather than a Loco in a red circle.

A manual will have shipped with the mFX+ loco.
Marklin offer a small selection of mFX+ manuals @ https://www.maerklin.de/.../spielewelt-anleitungen/

Your particular one (ID=6) is not specifically covered however any Diesel variant will be similar enough from the essential control viewpoint.

If it is a diesel, why does it say Br01, or does that get replaced when the loco is actually logged in?

I have CS2, and the cab view image is looked very similar to the photo above, but since I copied the above photo from the internet, it may not be looked exactly same as the actual image on my CS2 for my locomotive, but all the control levers and buttons are same as what I see on my CS2. I have the diesel locomotive class G 2000 BB, before I upgraded the CS2 software, the cab view was looked like below, but after upgraded to v.4.2.1, it is looked like the photo above. The manual does not tell what control lever is for what purpose, it just tells what functions it has???

Here is the cab view before upgrade the CS2

Thanks Peter

By using the link you provided, I have got the information for what control lever is for what. Thank you again for your information.

FWIW

mfx+ architecture has 4 groups , or classes, numbered (1,5,9..),(2,6,10..),(3,7,11,,),(4,8,12..). If a new loco comes out and presents a cabID that the CS does not yet know (like your C2000 with an ID of 6), the CS will fallback to the root of that group - i.e. 2 in your case.

mFX+ locos ship with 2 manuals, the usual one with description, parts, function list, and a second one for the CabMode operation (as per the samples in the link provided)

If your loco came from the factory/dealer, and didn't have the second manual I would suggest sending an email to service@marrklin.de. This is one area they usually respond to pretty quicky (if the manual is new and available)
