Function requirements, general 

Manual interior lights control in general 

The manual interior lights control permits the interior illumination, reading illumination, vanity mirror illumination as well as the glove compartment illumination to be switched on and off by operating the relevant switch.

Pressing the switches, some of which are arranged on the housing of the overhead control panel electronics, supplies voltage to the corresponding components.

The overhead control panel electronics are supplied with power through the front SAM control unit. Upon pressing a switch at the overhead control panel electronics, the voltage is supplied to the corresponding component and the component switched on or off.

The manual interior lights control function encompasses the following subfunctions:

Function sequence for interior illumination 

The following interior illumination components can be switched on or off manually by operating the switches that are located on the housing of the overhead control panel electronics:

Additional function requirements for glove compartment illumination 

IMPORTANT The electronic ignition lock control unit sends the status of circuit 15 to the front SAM control unit over the interior CAN.

Function sequence for glove compartment illumination 

The glove compartment lamp switch is supplied with voltage by the front SAM control unit. Voltage is switched through to the glove compartment lamp by opening the glove compartment lid.
