- Actuation of LED in inside central locking button (N72/1s7)

The OBF control unit reads in the following integrated switches:
- Left sliding door button (N72/1s1), with code (T56) Electrical actuation for left sliding door
- Left heated seat button (N72/1s2), with code (H16) Heater for driver seat
- Rear window heater button (N72/1s3), with code (H22) Heated rear window or with code (W78) Window in tailgate or hinged rear door with wipe/wash system
- Windshield heater button (N72/1s4), with code (F49) Heated windshield
- ASR OFF button (N72/1s5)
- Hazard warning system switch (N72/1s6)
- Inside central locking button
- PTS OFF button (N72/1s9), with code (EZ8) Parktronic system (PTS)
- Right heated seat button (N72/1s10), with code (H15) Heater for front passenger seat
- Right sliding door button (N72/1s11), with code (T55) Electrical actuation for right sliding door

The OBF control unit also communicates with the following control units over CAN-B:
- With the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73)
- The OBF control unit sends, e.g. "CL_IT (Inside central locking button actuated)"
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "CL_ST (CL status)"

- With the instrument cluster (A1)
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "IC_58D_B (Instrument illumination brightness)"

- With the SAM control unit (N10)
- The OBF control unit transmits, e.g. "HHS_SWON (Switch on HHS)"
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "HHS_ON (HHS switched on)"

- With the left sliding door control unit (N69/7), with code (T56) Electrical actuation for left sliding door
- The OBF control unit transmits, e.g. "ACT_LSD (Left sliding door actuation)"
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "LSD_LED (Actuation of LED for left sliding door button)"

- With the right sliding door control unit (N69/6), with code (T55) Electrical actuation for right sliding door
- The OBF control unit transmits, e.g. "ACT_RSD (Right sliding door actuation)"
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "RSD_LED (Actuation of LED for right sliding door button)"

- With the DBE control unit (N70), with code (LD0) Driver/front passenger dome lamp with reading lamp
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "ATA_ST (Anti-theft alarm system status)"

- With the PSM control unit (N26/15) with code (ED5) Parameterizable special module (PSM)
- The OBF control unit transmits, e.g. "HWF_ON (Hazard warning flashers on)"
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "PSM_HHS_ON (HHS PSM control unit switch on)"

- With the PTS control unit (N62), with code (EZ8) Parktronic system (PTS)
- The OBF control unit transmits, e.g. "PTS (PTS OFF button actuated)"
- The OBF control unit receives, e.g. "PTS_ST_OFF (PTS completely switched off)"

The OBF control unit evaluates the switching states, messages and feedback from the individual systems and then controls the following switch LEDs in the appropriate manner:
- The LED of the left sliding door button, with code (T56) Electrical actuation for left sliding door,is permanently actuated or it flashes on and off.
- The LED of the left heated seat button, with code (H16) Heater for driver seat, is actuated permanently or it flashes on and off.
- The LED of the rear window heater button, with code (H22) Heated rear window or with code (W78) Window in tailgate or hinged rear door with wipe/wash system, is actuated permanently or it flashes on and off.
- The LED of the windshield heater button, with code (F49) Heated windshield is actuated permanently or it flashes on and off.
- The LED of the hazard warning system switch is actuated to flash on and off.
- The LED of the inside central locking button is actuated permanently or it flashes on and off.
- The LED of the PTS OFF button, with code (EZ8) Parktronic system (PTS), is actuated permanently or it flashes on or off.
- The LED of the right heated seat button, with code (H15) Heater for front passenger seat, is actuated permanently or it flashes on and off.
- The LED of the right sliding door button, with code (T55) Electrical actuation for right sliding door, is permanently actuated or it flashes on and off.

The respective switches and buttons of the OBF control unit are designed as rocker switches. If the OBF control unit recognizes actuation of the respective switch or button for t ≥ 25 s, then the signal is ignored and a fault is saved. An actuation signal is not sent to the CAN-B.
When the respective switch or button is actuated again the OBF control unit must detect beforehand the park position of the respective switch or button for t > 1 second.
