Function requirements for symbol and ambiance illumination, general 

Symbol and ambiance illumination, 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 comprises the following subfunctions:

Function sequence for generating circuit 58d 

The following signals are read in and evaluated by the instrument cluster (A1) for controlling the symbol and ambiance illumination:

The instrument cluster generates the circuit 58d signal from the incoming information and transmits it to the interior CAN for actuating the symbol and ambiance illumination.

Function sequence for symbol illumination 

The circuit 58 signal is read in by the following control units.

The COMAND controller unit routes the circuit 58d signal of the following components to the telematics CAN:

The following components are actuated by the front SAM control unit via the instrument panel LIN:

The following components are actuated directly by the front SAM control unit:

Furthermore, the front SAM control unit routes the circuit 58d signal of the following control units to the chassis CAN:

From the CDI control unit or from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit it is supplied to the electronic selector lever module control unit (N15/5) (with transmission 722.6) on the drive train CAN, whereupon the electronic selector lever module control unit actuates the corresponding symbol illumination.

The steering column tube module control unit actuates the following components via the steering LIN:

The rear SAM control unit actuates the trunk lid emergency opening switch (S88/10) directly (model 204.0 with code (494) USA version only).

The automatic air conditioning control and operating unit actuates the symbol illumination of the integrated controls directly and the rear automatic air conditioning operating unit (N22/4) (with code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning) via the climate control LIN.

The following components are actuated by the left front door control unit via the left door LIN:

The following components are actuated directly by the left front door control unit:

The following component is actuated by the right front door control unit via the right door LIN:

The following components are actuated directly by the right front door control unit:

The following component is actuated directly by the left rear door control unit:

The following component is actuated directly by the right rear door control unit:

Function sequence for ambiance illumination 

The circuit 58 signal is read in by the following control units.

The following component is actuated by the front SAM control unit via the overhead control panel electronics:

The following component is actuated by the overhead control panel control unit:

On vehicles with code (954) Avantgarde, with code (955) Elegance or with code (876) Interior lights package the following components are actuated:

By the front SAM control unit:

By the left front door control unit:

Right front door control unit:

Left rear door control unit:

Right rear door control unit:

IMPORTANT When unlocking the vehicle using the central locking, the components of the ambiance illumination are switched on at the set brightness value. The opening of a vehicle door triggers the actuation of the ambiance illumination at a brightness value corresponding to 100 %. After closing the vehicle door, the components are actuated again at the previously set brightness value.
