Description and operation

Exterior Lighting

The headlamp switch is located on the multifunction switch. The switch operates the
sidelights, the dipped and main beam lamps, the switch also features an auto lamps function
(operates the headlamps when the sunload sensor detects low light levels) and the exit delay
variable timer switch (allows the headlamps to stay on for a period of time from ten seconds
to two minutes).

Each headlamp assembly consists of two headlamp units. The main beam lamp unit and the
front parking (side) lamp are in the inner unit and the dipped beam and the turn signal lamp
unit are in the outer. Access for bulb replacement is from the engine compartment.

WARNING: VOLTAGES OF UP TO 25 KV ARE POSSIBLE WITH HIGH

INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLAMPS (HID).

The HID headlamps, if fitted, consists of a headlamp bulb and a combined ballast and
headlamp leveling module fitted to the headlamp. Burner wear for HID lamps is so low that
the burner lasts the lifetime of the vehicle under normal use. Headlamp automatic leveling is
controlled by the air suspension module receiving information from the controlled area
network (CAN) data.

The fog lamps are located in recesses in the front bumper. The two retaining screws are
located behind the anti-theft cover.

The license plate lamps are fitted in the license plate housing. Each bulb is accessible after
removing the relevant lens.

Each rear lamp assembly incorporates a light emitting diode (LED) stop and tail lamp, a fog
lamp, a reversing lamp and a direction indicator lamp. Access for bulb replacement is from
the luggage compartment. The high mounted stoplamp is only replaceable as a unit.

The side repeater lamps are located within the front fender.

The sidemarker lamps are located within the rear bumper and front bumper and are supplied
as part of a high level bumper assembly, (the side markers are located in the bumper by tangs
on one side of the unit and held in position by a spring clip on the other side).

The exterior mirrors incorporate ground illumination, which is activated when the vehicle is
locked and unlocked under low ambient light conditions. The ground illumination is timed to
stay on for the same amount of time as the interior light.
