When the light switch is to position 1 - "Parking lights" the supply to parking lights 13 is taken across the red 29-pole connector 152B and fuses 18 and 19. The left-hand side of the car is supplied across fuse 19 and the right-hand side across fuse 18.

Rear lights 14 are also supplied across fuses 18 and 19 and the white 29-pole connector 152A. Number plate illumination 15 is supplied across fuse 18.

The rear-light supplies of the 3-D and 5-D models differ somewhat from each those of the 2-D and 4-D models. The 3-D and 5-D models are equipped with two additional rear lights (14) on the tailgate.
