Interior Lighting: Overview





Interior Lighting
The operation of the interior lighting system, with the exception of the door and mirror lamps, is controlled by the CJB (central junction box). Door and mirror lamp operation is controlled by the relevant door module.
In order to control the interior lighting system, the CJB (central junction box) receives inputs from the 4 door latch switches and the tailgate release motor. The system also interacts with the central locking system, illuminating the interior lamps and the mirror lamps on receipt of an unlock request. This request is transmitted to the CJB (central junction box).
The front roof mounted interior lamps are operated by Sense (proximity sensing). The centre 'Courtesy' lamp is automatic with door unlock/opening and can be overridden to 'always on' by touching the lens. The courtesy lamps can be switched to 'always off' by touching the centre lens for a period of more than 3 seconds, while touching the lens again for more than 3 seconds will turn the courtesy lamp operation on again. The lights will flash to indicate that the required function has been selected.
The front interior lamp incorporates two outer map/reading lamps that are operated separately and are switched on/off by touching the lens. These operate independently of the interior courtesy lighting functionality.
The rear cantrail mounted interior lamps contain a 3 position rocker switch. Automatic (Courtesy) operation of the lamps can be overridden by moving the switch to the 'always on' or 'always off' position.
If 'Courtesy' lighting is active and a hinged panel is left open, the CJB (central junction box) will extinguish all interior lamps after a period of 15 minutes. If a manual request for interior lighting has been made, the CJB (central junction box) will extinguish the lamps after a period of 30 minutes.
Pressing the light symbol on the remote handset will activate the 'Approach Lamp' feature. When activated, the CJB (central junction box) illuminates the mirror lamps and a number of exterior lamps. For additional information, refer to Exterior Lighting Exterior Lighting
Transport Mode
All new vehicles will be delivered from the factory in transport mode. Transport mode inhibits a number of electrical systems and features, including the interior lamps, to eliminate quiescent drain from the battery during delivery. When the vehicle is in transport mode 'transp' will be displayed in the instrument cluster odometer.
To remove the vehicle from transport mode, the Land Rover approved diagnostic system must be connected during the PDI (pre-delivery inspection). For more information, refer to the PDI (pre-delivery inspection) manual.
