Parking Lamp: Description and Operation

The parking lights are switched ON and OFF by means of lights switch 10, which is always supplied with current.

When the lights switch is in position 1, current is supplied to parking lights 13 via fuses 29 and 30.

Rear lights 14 are also supplied with current via these fuses but through the Integrated Central Electronics (ICE) control module which monitors them.

Should any rear light fail, the ICE control module sends a signal to pin 8 of the SID unit which causes the "DEFECTIVE LAMP" indicator lamp or the "INFO DISPL" lamp in the main instrument display panel to light up at the same time as a message appears in the SID unit's display.

Number plate lamp 15 and the rear lights on a trailer, if any, are always supplied with current when the parking lights are switched ON.

The ICE control module monitors these lamps.

The parking lights on the trailer, if any, are supplied with current via connector 258 (H8-5).

Side marker lights 234 are fitted on cars for certain markets.
