Ambiance illumination 

Symbol and ambiance illumination in general 

The symbol and ambiance illumination feature provides the brightness-adjustable illumination of all controls as well as the illumination of the vehicle interior.

The symbol and ambiance illumination feature consists of the following subfunctions:

Additional symbol illumination function requirements 

Function sequence for symbol illumination 

The following signals are read in and evaluated by the instrument cluster to control the symbol illumination:

The instrument cluster generates the circuit 58d signal from the incoming information and sends this to the following control units to actuate the symbol illumination of the partially integrated controls or those actuated by the control units via interior CAN:

The EZS control unit routes the circuit 58d signal to the drive train CAN.

The front door control units actuate the symbol illumination of the following components:

In model 463.236/237/270/271/341/346, the door control units actuate the symbol illumination of the following components:

The steering column tube module actuates the symbol illumination of the following components via the LIN converter:

The rear SAM switches on the symbol illumination of the left/right rear seat heater switches and the stationary heater switch as requested by the overhead control panel control unit via a discrete line.

The front SAM controls the symbol illumination of the light switch module.

The symbol illumination of the switches located on the overhead control panel control unit is switched on upon opening a vehicle door even if the circuit 58d signal is not received, with a brightness value of 100 %.

If the status of the vehicle doors no longer changes, the symbol illumination is switched off after t = 30 s. The opening or closing of a vehicle door during the time interval triggers a restart. The symbol illumination is immediately switched off when the vehicle is locked.

The symbol illumination of the operating units corresponds to the set dimming of the illumination of the instrument cluster.

Additional function requirements for ambiance illumination 

Function sequence for ambiance illumination 

The ambiance illumination includes the illumination of the door panels, the center console and the footwells.

The following signals are read in and evaluated by the overhead control panel control unit for controlling the ambiance illumination:
