Parking Lamp: Description and Operation

The parking lights are switched on and off by means of lights switch 10 which is always supplied with current, see the Power supply (+30 circuit).

When the lights switch is in position 1, current is supplied to parking lights 13 via fuses 29 and 30.

Rear lights 14 are also supplied with current from these fuses but via filament monitor 228a.

If any of the rear light bulbs should fail, terminal C1 will be grounded. Since positive current is applied to terminal 9 of pictogram 213 (from the ignition switch), the central warning lamp and the indicator lamps for the rear lights will light up. See also the Pictogram Filament monitor.

Number plate lighting 15 and the parking lights on a trailer are always supplied with current when the parking lights are on. The current is not supplied via the filament monitor, though.

The parking lights on a trailer are supplied with current via connector 258 (H8-5).

Side marker lights 234 are fitted on cars for certain markets.

In certain markets an indicator lamp (47v) is also fitted to show when the lights are on.
