FUNCTIONS

The vehicle''s exterior lighting system has been designed with two aims in mind:

  • ensuring maximum efficiency in terms of complying with international regulations which define the illumination specifications of the various components
  • to blend with the design of the vehicle so that the various components enhance the overall image.

In particular, the front light cluster includes the separate function of the side light, dipped headlamp, main beam headlamp, fog light and direction indicators ina single unit.

The clear element is made out of one piece of plastic.

PERFORMANCE

The nominal operating voltage for the system can vary from 9 to 16 volts.

STRUCTURE

The front light cluster consists of the following components:

A light unit which includes:

  • A housing for the fog light and the lens cover which focuses the light beam.
  • A housing for the dipped headlamp and the lens cover which focuses the light beam and an internal element for adjusting the light beam geometry to meet standards.
  • A housing for the direction indicator with an orange reflector lens cover.
  • A housing for the main beam headlamp and parabola with mirrored surface.
  • A housing for the side light and the reflector lens cover.

Light beam vertical adjustment device inside the light cluster operated by means of two buttons on the left of the instrument panel.

The following are also present:

  • A fog light bulb 12 Volt - 55 Watt (1)
  • A dipped headlamp bulb 12 Volt - 55 Watt (2)
  • A direction indicator bulb 12 Volt - 5 Watt (3)
  • A main beam headlamp bulb 12 Volt - 55 Watt (4)
  • A side light bulb 12 Volt - 5 Watt

2 Dipped headlamps

3 Turn signal

4 Main beam headlamps

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

The user can operate a ring at the end of the left steering wheel stalk to turn on the side lights, dipped beams and main beams (fixed or flashing position).

The same stalk also controls turns signals for lane changes and foglamp/rear foglamp enablement (for further details, see stalk unit 5550A and Body Computer description)

FOLLOW ME HOME FUNCTION

This is a strategy available on the SX trim level which allows the dipped headlamps to remain on, even with the ignition switched off, for a pre-set time.

This function is particularly useful, for example, after parking the car in a garage or in poorly lit areas.

The function is activated, after the key off, for a maximum of 2 minutes; within this period, pulling the left steering column switch unit lever in the direction of the steering wheel activates the dipped headlamps for 30 seconds; each time the lever is operated, the time increases by a further 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 5 minutes.

Pins

A connection on the light cluster casing controls the side lights, dipped headlamps, main beam headlamps, direction indicators and light beam vertical adjustment

Operation

The headlamp alignment adjustment device is designed to correctly position the dipped headlamp light beam, in a vertical direction, irrespective of the load on the axles.

Operating methods

It is possible to vary the angle of the light clusters with 4 standard positions by acting on the two switches on the left hand side of the instrument panel.

The positions are shown in a special display in the instrument panel.

The table below illustrates the three positions which can be selected according to the vehicle load conditions:

Operating methods

To carry out the headlamp alignment adjustment, proceed as described below:

  • Press button A and keep it pressed until there is an increase by one position (e.g. 0>1, 1>2)
  • Press button B and keep it pressed until there is an increase by one position (e.g. 2>1, 1>0)

The display C will show the positions whilst the adjustment is being made.

Operating procedure

The headlamp alignment adjustment device is designed to direct the light beam for the dipped headlamp correctly in a vertical direction thanks to a motor that adjusts the parabola irrespective of the load on the axles. The two switches on the left side of the instrument panel can be used to vary the angle of the light cluster into 4 standard positions. The positions are shown in the instrument panel in a special display.

Introduction - EXTERIOR LIGHTING

To carry out the headlamp alignment adjustment, proceed as described below:

- Press button A and keep it pressed until there is an increase of one position (e.g. 0>1, 1>2).

- Press button B and keep it pressed until there is a decrease of one position (e.g. 2>1, 1>0).

The display C will give a visual reading of the positions whilst the adjustment is being carried out.
