DESCRIPTION

The vehicle is equipped with an extra- bright red rear fog lamp located in the rear bumper on the left (on the right on right hand drive versions).

The rear fog lamp is activated via the dedicated button in the controls to the left of the steering wheel; when the light is on, the warning light in the instrument panel comes on.

The switching on of the rear fog lamp is managed by the Body Computer; it is activated by:

- key to ON enablement signal (INT);

- a control signal coming from the switch;

- dipped headlights or fog lights on signal.

If the dipped headlights or the fog lights are turned off, the rear fog lamp is deactivated even if the operating button is still pressed. When the lights are switched on again, the rear fog lamp does not come on automatically, but only when the button is pressed again.

If the key is switched off (OFF position) and then switched back to the MAR (ON) position M, the button must be activated again to turn on the fog lights.

The rear fog lamps check function checks that the light is working properly: the following are checked:

- open circuit or missing bulb

- short circuit to earth (bulb s.c. or wiring s.c. to earth)

- short circuit to battery voltage (wiring short circuited to Vbatt)

When one of the situations described above is verified, the Body Computer makes the failure status available to the CAN: a special "lights failure" warning light comes on in the instrument panel and, at the same time, the information is shown in the display.
