The vehicle is equipped with two reversing lights located in the rear side light clusters. The reversing lights are operated whenever reverse is engaged via the gear lever. The reverse engagement signal is sent to the engine management control unit and from this, via the CAN, to the Body Computer which switches the lights on. The reversing light switch is supplied by an ignition-operated line protected by a fuse in the Body Computer. The Body Computer manages the correct operation of the function, detecting the following possible faults:
When one of the situations described above occurs, the Body Computer makes the failure status available to the CAN: a special "exterior light failure" warning light comes on in the instrument panel and, at the same time, the information is shown in the display. For road safety reasons, on Heavy Van versions (designed for transporting heavy loads), an additional bridge connecting the left rear light and the rear fog light is fitted. |
