Operating procedure 

Basic conditions:

  1. The rear SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/2) or rear SAM control module (N10/8) (models 215, 220) receives via the interior CAN the signals for actuating the rear lighting devices.
  2. The rear SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/2) or rear SAM control module (N10/8) (models 215, 220) actuates the lighting devices of the vehicle and simultaneously passes on the signals for actuating the trailer lighting via the interior CAN to the trailer recognition control module (N28/1).
  3. The trailer recognition control module (N28/1) actuates the corresponding lighting devices of the trailer via the 13-pin trailer hitch socket (X58).

IMPORTANTRear fog lamp 

The rear SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/2) or rear SAM control module (N10/8) (models 215, 220) interrupts the actuation of the vehicle's own rear fog lamp when the trailer is detected (E3e5 and E4e5). Then, only the trailer's rear fog lamp is actuated.

IMPORTANTLamp failure indicator 

A lamp failure on the vehicle or trailer is displayed in the instrument cluster (A1).
