DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The parking lights are switched on and off by means of lights switch 10 which is always supplied with current. See Power Supply (+30 circuit).

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

Both rear lights 14 are also supplied with current from these fuses, but via filament monitor 228A.

If any of the rear light bulbs fails, connection C1 will be grounded. Since connection 9 on pictogram 213 receives positive voltage (from the ignition switch), the indicator lamps for rear lights and the central warning lamp will light up. See 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. However, this current supply does not go via the filament monitor.

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.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS HINTS
The parking lights are switched on by turning lights switch 10 to position 1.
1. Check that fuses 29 and 30 are intact and supplied with current.
2. Check that the bulbs are intact and supplied with current. Check the grounding of each lamp.
3. Check that switch 10 and filament monitor 228A are in working order by taking readings on each connection.
4. Check the connectors, wiring harness and ground connections.

IMPORTANT: When changing the bulbs, make sure that the new bulbs are of the correct rating. Otherwise, the lamps in the pictogram may light up due to imbalance in the filament monitor coil
