DIPPED HEADLIGHTS - DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The vehicle is equipped with two dipped beams in the headlamps. The dipped beams are activated by turning a wheel on the stalk switch to the next position after the side light setting.

The switching on of the low beams is managed by the Body Computer.

A special relay in the engine compartment junction unit controls activation of the low beams via two lines protected by specific fuses. The low beam activation relay is controlled by the Body Computer relay excitation is activated via a specific stalk unit control signal.

With the dipped headlamps on, the simultaneous presence of the main beam and fog lights commands disables the dipped headlamps. The subsequent deactivation of one of these two commands, with the dipped headlamps control still on, involves the dipped headlamps being turned back on.

The "Follow me home" function allows the dipped headlamps and the side lights to remain on even after the engine has been switched off (key in OFF position) for a period of 30 seconds or multiples thereof. The side lights warning light in the instrument panel signals that the lights have remained on. It is turned on using the lever in the same way as for activating the flasher within 2 minutes of the ignition being switched OFF: each time the lever is operated the length of time the lights remain on is increased by 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds. Inserting the TEG or keeping the flasher lever pulled for more than 2 seconds eliminates the function.
