Replacement light function 

If specific lights malfunction, then other lights are actuated as substitutes by pulse width modulation (to adapt the light output). In such an instance, flashing functions have priority over steady light.

An active automatic lamp substitution function is communicated to the driver via the instrument cluster (A1) by the front signal

acquisition and actuation module (SAM) (N10/1) or the rear signal acquisition and actuation module (SAM) (N10/2).

The scope of the substitute lamp actuation is country specific (refer to following table).

Emergency light function 

Function requirements: 

Function sequence for emergency light function 

The emergency light function serves to prevent the complete vehicle lighting system at the front or rear failing because of a single error (e.g. processor fault).

For this reason, the front SAM and rear SAM have separate hardware which guarantees the emergency light function.

The front SAM switches on the following:

  Component description for front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module N10/1 GF54.21-P-6070G
  Component description for rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module N10/2 GF54.21-P-6030G
  Electronic ignition/starter switch control unit (EZS), component description N73 GF80.57-P-6000G
