Actuation of rear ashtray illumination
Actuation of the left rear ashtray illumination (E9/8) and right rear ashtray illumination (E9/9) is accomplished with pulse width modulation via the corresponding door control modules (N69/3, N69/4). The door control modules actuate the lights with the on/ off ratio predefined by the instrument cluster (A1).

Required data:
- Status c. 58d on instrument cluster (A1)

Actuation of remaining lights
Actuation of the lights is accomplished via the right front SAM control module (N10/7) except for the rear ashtray illumination (E9/8, E9/9). The control module actuates the lights as soon as it receives the CAN message on/off ratio c. 58d > 5% from the instrument cluster (A1). The lights cannot be dimmed.

Required data:
- Status c. 58d on instrument cluster (A1)

- Only the left rear ashtray illumination (E9/8) and right rear ashtray illumination (E9/9) are dimmable in addition to the switch illumination. The setting is accomplished via the brightness control for the instrument and search illumination rheostat (A1r1).
