LIGHTING

86-2-36 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Description

General
The interior lighting is controlled by the Body Control Unit (BCU) which is located below the front passenger seat. The 
interior lighting comprises the following lamps:

l

Front interior lamp unit

l

Rear interior lamp unit

l

Upper tail door load space lamps (2 off)

l

Luggage compartment load space lamp

l

Fascia mounted sill lamps (2 off)

l

Under fascia footwell lamps (2 off)

l

Door mirror approach lamps (2 off)

l

Puddle lamps (4 off).

The interior lamps have two modes of operation; automatic or manual. In the automatic mode the interior lamp 
functionality is controlled by the BCU on receipt of various input signals. In manual mode, the lamps can be switched 
on and off using the momentary button adjacent to the front interior lamp or can be disabled completely using the 
same switch.

NOTE: The LED illumination of the front door pockets and the front and rear interior door handles is a function of the 
LCM and only operates when the light control switch is in the side lamp or headlamp positions.

The following table shows the bulbs used for the interior lighting and their type and rating:

Front and Rear Interior Lamps and Map Reading Lamps
The front and rear interior lamp assemblies are similar in design. The front interior lamp switch is connected directly 
to the BCU and controls the manual operation of the interior lamp functionality. The rear interior lamp switch is used 
only to switch the lamp on and off.

The map reading lights have a non-adjustable beam and are controlled via separate switches. Both the interior and 
map reading lamps use capless 5W bulbs.

Luggage Compartment Lamps
The luggage compartment lamps comprise one lamp unit located on the RH side trim panel, adjacent to the auxiliary 
power socket, and two lamps located in the interior trim panel of the upper tail door. All of these lamps are of the same 
design and use capless 5W bulbs. The lamps are controlled by the BCU and operate on the automatic interior lamp 
functionality.

Glovebox Lamp
The glovebox lamp is located inside the glovebox, at the top, adjacent to the latch. The lamp comprises a festoon 5W 
bulb. The lamp housing also incorporates a plunger type switch which is activated to switch the lamp on when the 
glovebox lid is opened.
