The headlamp delayed switch-off function serves for illuminating the vehicle environment with parking lights, taillamps, license plate lamps and fog lamps for a time interval set in the instrument cluster (A1) when leaving the vehicle.
The time interval can be set in increments of 15 s from 0 s to 60 s.
Function prerequisites:
Headlamp delayed switch-off feature is activated (T>0) via instrument cluster (A1)
Circuit 61 and circuit 15 "OFF" and
automatic light switch daylight sensor (B32/1) signals "DARKNESS"
As of 01.06.01 (model year 2002) for USA and CANADA
The exterior lamp switch should also be set to the automatic position.
Function sequence
If the function prerequisites are present the headlamp delayed switch-off feature is active for 60 s (this time is independent of the time interval set in the instrument cluster (A1)).
When a door is opened (also trunk lid) the time (t= 60s) is started again (this applies each time the door is opened before the time has expired (t=60s).When the last door is locked the time interval set in the instrument cluster (A1) is activated.
Interruption function (discrete exit)
When the ignition is switched on and off (circuit 15) the headlamp delayed switch-off feature is interrupted until the function prerequisites are present again.
When an alarm is triggered by the anti-theft alarm (ATA) the headlamp delayed switch-off feature is also interrupted.
Deactivating function
When the time interval is set to "0 s" in the instrument cluster (A1) the headlamp delayed switch-off feature is deactivated.
As of 01.06.01 (model year 2002) for USA and CANADA
If the exterior lamp switch is set to a position other than "Automatic" the headlamp delayed switch-off feature is also deactivated.
