Visual Alarm

The rear SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/2) controls the sequence of visual signals over CAN. The visual alarm differs with respect to the sequence, the duration and the lamps actuated according to the national version:

- ECE: Turn signal lamps 2-3 times per second
- (USA) : Fog lamps and reversing lamps approximately once per second

The lamps are actuated by the rear SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/2) and the front SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/1).

The interior lighting is switched on for as long as the alarm is in progress.

In addition the left turn signal indicator lamp (A1e1) and the right turn signal indicator lamp (A1e2) flash in the instrument cluster (A1).

The alarm can be canceled by the function ATA activation or ATA deactivation. After canceling by the ATA activationfunction1 the ATA remains active.


NOTE: The country-specific ATA functions are set during end-of-line programming where the type and duration of the alarm are defined. The function can be changed via diagnosis.
