WIPERS AND WASHERS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Courtesy Lamp Delay
The CCU controls the delay function of the interior courtesy lamp. The courtesy lamp can also be switched on using
a manual switch on the lamp unit.
Door Open Warning Lamp
The CCU illuminates a warning lamp on the instrument pack if the driver's door, passenger door(s), tail door or bonnet
is open while the ignition is on.
Key In Alarm
The CCU will sound a continuous warning on the integral sounder when the driver's door is open while the key is in
the ignition switch at position 0 or I. This is to prevent the driver inadvertently leaving the vehicle with the key in the
ignition switch.
Rear Fog Guard Lamps
The CCU controls the operation of the rear fog guard lamps via a rear fog guard lamp relay. The guard lamps operate
only if the headlamps are on and the ignition switch is in position II. When the headlamps or the ignition are switched
off the CCU automatically switches off the guard lamps.
Lights On Alarm
The CCU will sound a continuous warning on the integral sounder when the driver's door is open while the side lamps
or headlamps are on and the ignition is off. This is to prevent the driver inadvertently leaving the vehicle with the side
lamps or headlamps on.
Seat Belt Warning
When the ignition is switched on the CCU performs a bulb check of the seat belt warning lamp in the instrument pack
for approximately 5 seconds, or until the ignition is switched off or the engine cranks. To prevent a driver inadvertently
driving without fastening their seat belt, if the driver's seat belt is unfastened when the ignition is switched on the CCU
sounds a warning on the integral sounder for approximately 5 seconds and keeps the seat belt warning lamp
illuminated after the bulb check.
Handbrake Warning
A warning lamp to warn the driver that the handbrake is on is located in the instrument pack. The warning lamp
illuminates when the ignition is on and the handbrake is applied. In some markets the CCU performs a bulb check of
the warning lamp for approximately 5 seconds at the beginning of each ignition cycle.
Rear Screen Wiper
The CCU controls the rear screen wiper via a forward and a reverse relay. The wiper will not operate if the tail door
window is lowered or not calibrated or, on 3 door models, if the roof is open (soft back) or removed (hard back).
WIPERS AND WASHERS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Tail Door Window
The CCU controls the lowering and raising of the tail door window, which can be opened using a console switch or
the remote handset. On 3 door models, opening/removal of the roof will automatically lower the window. The window
can be raised using the console switch or the vehicle key in the tail door key barrel. When the tail door is opened, the
tail door window lowers to a 'clear of seal' position. When the door is closed the window automatically rises to its fully
up position.
