The hazard warning flasher signal is control-
led separately by the vehicle electrical system
control unit, via the hazard warning flasher
button.
If, during hazard warning flashing, the turn
signal flasher is actuated, e.g. during towing,
the hazard warning lights lose their priority
for this period.
The turn signal clicking is generated by an
integral acoustic relay in the dash panel
insert.
Turn signal/hazard warning light control
The functions:
– Anti-theft alarm flasher
– Central locking system flasher when
opening/closing
– Key-learn flasher for key adaption
– Crash flasher
– Panic flasher (USA only)
are specified by the central convenience elec-
tronics and transmitted via the convenience
data bus to the vehicle electrical system con-
trol unit, which then executes the "com-
mands".
The signal for turn signal flashing or motor-
way flashing is output via the steering column
switch module and executed by the vehicle
electrical system control unit.
For active hazard warning flasher with
ignition OFF, the flasher bulbs are actu-
ated for a shorter period in order to mini-
mise current consumption.
Motorway flashing is detected by the vehicle
electrical system control unit when the turn
signal lever is pressed and this triggers a tri-
ple turn signal flash.

Control unit for trailer recognition J345
A separate control unit is required for trailer
operation. This transmits the vehicle lighting
system convenience CAN messages from the
vehicle electrical system control unit to the
trailer lights. A parallel link from the trailer
socket to the vehicle wiring would result in
fault detection via the microprocessor in the
vehicle electrical system control unit.
The diagnostic function of the control unit for
trailer recognition is performed via the
vehicle electrical system control unit J519,
address word 09.
In the case of faulty communication
between the control unit for trailer recog-
nition and the vehicle electrical system
control unit, the rear lights are actuated
as a warning signal.

Address word 09 - vehicle electrical system/
Central convenience
electronics
Communication takes place by means of the
convenience data bus via the central conven-
ience electronics, as no separate K-wire
leads to the vehicle electrical system control
unit. For this reason, intact central conven-
ience electronics are essential for perform-
ing self-diagnosis.
