Macroinstructions, or macros, are inputted to the ECU () by a user by direct definition or Internet download for example. Each macro comprises a condition and a command. The condition includes a trigger value and a corresponding input variable sensed by a respective sensor (). The command involves the transmission of one of said output control signals to control an operating component in a predetermined manner. The ECU () is operable to run said macro during which the command is executed in response to the condition being met.
