Location 

The headlamp control unit is fastened to the footrest in the front passenger's footwell.

Task 

The headlamp control unit performs the following:

Reading in of sensors, pickups and signals 

The input factors are read in via the following connections:

Direct line 

The signals of the following components are read in over a direct line by the headlamp control unit for vehicles without Code (483) ADVANCED AGILITY package:

Front end CAN 

The signals are read in by the headlamp control unit over the front end CAN.

The functions resulting therefrom are described in the corresponding function descriptions (see block diagram or function schematic).

IMPORTANT For vehicles with code (483) ADVANCED AGILITY package, the adaptive damping system control unit (N51/5) sends the information on the vehicle level over the chassis CAN (CAN E), front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) and the front end CAN to the headlamp control unit.

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors are evaluated by the microprocessor and the corresponding components are actuated.

Controlling functions 

The following functions are realized by actuating the appropriate components:

Component actuation 

The actuation of the components takes place via the following connections:

Direct line 

The following components are actuated with a direct line:

LIN 

The headlamp control unit actuates the following components in the left front lamp unit (E1) over the left headlamp LIN (LIN G1):

The headlamp control unit actuates the following components in the right front lamp unit (E2) over the right headlamp LIN (LIN G2) an:
