The side repeater lamps are located in the front wings, forward of the louvred air vents. The side repeater lamps are
clipped into the wing aperture and can be removed by pushing forwards and pulling outwards from the wing.

the lamp assembly
Hazard Warning Lamps
The hazard warning lamps use the front and rear direction indicator lamps as previously described. These are
controlled by the LCM in response to a hazard warning lamp request from the fascia switch.
Crash Signal Activation
In the event of an accident of a severity to activate and deploy the airbags, the DCU requests various electrical
operations to assist with the crash situation. The DCU requests via the bus systems to the LCM to activate the hazard
warning lamps. These will continue to operate until deselected using the fascia switch. The lamps flash at a frequency
which is the same as the frequency used to flash the headlamp main beam in the same situation.
Reverse Lamps
The reverse lamps are located in the lower tail door and position at either side of the number plate. The lamps are
secured in the tail door with a clip at the bottom and positively secured with a screw at the top.
Each reverse lamp uses a 6W bayonet type bulb. The LCM monitors the bulbs and, if a failure is detected, alerts the
driver via the instrument pack message centre.
Number Plate Lamps
Two number plate lamps are located in the trim above the number plate in the lower tail door. The lamps are press
fitted in their apertures and secured by an integral plastic clip.
Each lamp uses a 5W festoon type bulb. The LCM monitors the bulbs and, if a failure is detected, alerts the driver via
the instrument pack message centre.
