system.
The following safety precautions must be adhered to when working on the xenon low beam headlamp system:
DO NOT attempt any procedures on the xenon headlamps when the lights are switched on. Handling of the D1S xenon bulb must be performed using suitable protective equipment; for example gloves and goggles. The glass part of the bulb must not be touched. Xenon bulbs must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Only operate the bulb in a mounted condition in the projector module installed in the headlamp.
The xenon headlamp is known as 'bi-xenon' because it operates as both a low and high beam headlamp unit. The xenon lamp, or High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp as they are
sometimes referred to, comprises an ellipsoidal lens with a solenoid controlled shutter to change the beam output from low to high beam.
• NOTE: If the lighting control switch is in the 'off' position, both the xenon lamp and the halogen high beam lamp will operate when the high beam 'flash' function is operated.
The xenon headlamp system is controlled by the CJB using a control module for each headlamp and an igniter. The control modules and the igniters provide the regulated power supply
required to illuminate the bulbs through their start-up phases of operation.
The xenon headlamp is a self contained unit located within the headlamp assembly. The unit comprises a reflector, an adaptor ring, the lens, a shutter controller and the xenon bulb, which
together forms an assembly known as the projector module. The reflector is curved and provides the mounting point for the xenon bulb. The bulb locates in a keyway to ensure the correct
alignment in the reflector and is secured by a plastic mounting ring. The bulb is an integral component of the igniter and is electrically connected by a connector located in the igniter unit.
The shutter controller is a solenoid which operates the shutter mechanism via a lever. The shutter is used to change the beam projection from low beam to high beam and vice versa.
The xenon bulbs illuminate when an arc of electrical current is established between 2 electrodes within the bulb. The xenon gas sealed in the bulb reacts to the electrical excitation and the
heat generated by the current flow to produce the characteristic blue/white light.
To operate at full efficiency, the xenon bulb goes through 3 full stages of operation before full output for continuous operation is achieved. The 3 phases are; start-up phase, warm-up
phase and continuous phase.
In the start-up phase, the bulb requires an initial high voltage starting pulse of up to 30000 volts to establish the arc. This is produced by the igniter. The warm-up phase begins once the
arc is established. The xenon control module regulates the supply to the bulb to 2.6A which gives a lamp output of 75W. During this phase, the xenon gas begins to illuminate brightly and
the environment within the bulb stabilizes, ensuring a continual current flow between the electrodes. When the warm-up phase is complete, the xenon control module changes to
continuous phase. The supply voltage to the bulb is reduced and the operating power required for continual operation is reduced to 35W. The process from start-up to continuous phase is
completed in a very short time.
The xenon control modules (one per headlamp) receive an operating voltage from the CJB when the headlamps are switched on. The modules regulate the power supply required through
the phases of start-up.
The igniters (one per headlamp) generate the initial high voltage required to establish the arc. The igniters have integral coils which generate high voltage pulses required for start-up.
Once the xenon bulbs are operating, the igniters provide a closed circuit for the regulated power supply from the control modules.
Halogen Low/high Beam Headlamp
The halogen low/high beam headlamp uses a projector lens, similar to the xenon headlamp. The projector module comprises an ellipsoidal lens and a reflector. The projector reflector
collects the light produced by the halogen bulb and projects the light into a focal plane containing a shield. The contour of the shield is projected onto the road by the lens. The low/high
beam bulbs are quartz halogen and are retained in the headlamp unit with conventional wire retaining clips.
A tourist lever mechanism is located on the right hand side of the projector module. This mechanism moves a flap to blank off a portion of the beam spread to enable the vehicle to be
driven in opposite drive hand markets without applying blanking decals to the headlamp lens. The beam is changed by removing the access cover at the rear of the lamp assembly and
moving a small lever located near the bulb holder, at the side of the projector.
Halogen High Beam Headlamp - Xenon and Halogen
The xenon and halogen headlamps use a complex surface reflector for the halogen fill in high beam lamp only lighting unit, which is of the same design on both headlamp types. This type
of reflector has the reflector divided into separate parabolic segments, with each segment having a different focal length.
The high beam headlamp bulbs are quartz halogen and are retained in the headlamp unit with conventional wire retaining clips.
Cornering Lamps
• NOTE: The cornering lamps are not fitted to NAS vehicles.
The cornering lamps are an optional feature designed to illuminate the direction of travel when cornering at low speeds. The design of the lens projects a spread of light from the vehicle at
approximately 45 degrees to the vehicle axis. The cornering lamp is incorporated into the headlamp assembly and shares the same housing as the low beam headlamp. The cornering lamp uses a 35W Halogen H8 bulb which is permanently located in an integral holder which is connected on the headlamp housing. The holder is located in an aperture in the headlamp housing
and rotated to lock. The bulb is accessible via a removable cover on the base of the headlamp housing.
The cornering lamps are controlled by the LH steering column multifunction switch with the lighting control switch in the headlamp position and the ignition in power mode 6. The cornering
lamps are supplied power via the ignition circuit to ensure that they do not function with the headlamp delay feature. The cornering lamps are deactivated if the vehicle speed exceeds 25
mph (40 km/h). Only one cornering lamp will illuminate at any one time. If the left hand turn signal indicators are selected on, the left hand cornering lamp will be illuminated and vice
versa, providing the vehicle speed and lighting control switch positions are correct.
Static Bending Lamps
• NOTE: The static bending lamps are not fitted to NAS vehicles.
The static bending lamps are designed to illuminate the direction of travel when cornering at low speeds. The static bending lamp functionality, which is controlled by the CJB and the
headlamp leveling module, operates using inputs from the steering angle sensor and vehicle speed information from the ABS (anti-lock brake system) module. The static bending lamp is
incorporated into the headlamp assembly and shares the same housing as the low beam headlamp. The design of the lens projects a spread of light from the vehicle at approximately 45
degrees to the vehicle axis. The static bending lamp uses a 35W Halogen H8 bulb which locates in a holder which is connected via wires to the main connector on the headlamp housing.
The holder is located in an aperture in the headlamp housing and rotated to lock. The bulb is accessible via a removable cover at the rear of the headlamp housing.
The static bending lamps operate with a steering angle sensor CAN bus signal which is received by the CJB. The CJB monitors this signal and vehicle speed and activates the static bending
lamp bulb. When the operation parameters of the lamp are reached, the CJB fades the static bending lamp bulb on using a PWM (pulse width modulation) voltage over a period of
approximately 2 seconds. When the lamp is switched off, the CJB fades the bulb off by decreasing the PWM voltage in a linear manner depending on steering angle and vehicle speed. The
cornering lamps can only be active for a maximum of 3 minutes.
• NOTE: Static bending lamps only operate when the transmission is in DRIVE or in SPORT.

The turn signal indicator lamp is incorporated into the outer part of the headlamp assembly. The turn signal indicator lamp uses a PY21W bayonet orange colored bulb in ROW markets, a
S8W 27/7W wedge bulb is used in NAS markets. The bulb is fitted into a holder which connects with contacts in the headlamp housing. The holder is fitted into an aperture in the
headlamp housing and rotated to lock into position.
When active, the turn signal indicator lamps will flash at a frequency cycle of 380ms on and 380ms off. If a bulb fails, the remaining turn signal lamps bulbs continue to flash at normal
speed. The turn signal indicators in the instrument cluster will flash at double speed to indicate the bulb failure to the driver.
Side Lamps
The side lamp is located between the headlamp projector module and the high bean headlamp. The side lamp uses a W5W wedge fitting bulb which locates in a holder which connected via
wires to the main connector on the headlamp housing. The holder is a push fit into a receptacle in the headlamp housing. The bulb is accessible by removal of the inner cover on the rear
of the headlamp housing. Access to the bulb requires removal of the headlamp from the vehicle. The side lamps are operated by selecting side lamps or headlamps on the lighting control
switch. The side lamps are functional at all times and are dependant on a particular ignition mode status. The side lamps will also be illuminated when the lighting control switch is in the
AUTO position and a 'lights on' signal is received by the CJB from the rain/light sensor
Side Marker Lamps (NAS only)
The side marker lamp is located in the outer part of the headlamp assembly. The side marker lamp uses a W5W wedge fitting bulb. The bulb is fitted into a holder which connects with
contacts in the headlamp housing. The holder is fitted into an aperture which connects with contacts in the headlamp housing. The side marker lamp is active at all times when the side
lamps are active.
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP OPERATION
The automatic headlamp function is a driver assistance system. The driver can override the system operation by selection of side lamp or headlamp on if the ambient light conditions
require front and rear lighting to be active. The automatic headlamp system uses a light sensor and the CJB, which are connected via a LIN (local interconnect network) bus to control the
headlamp functionality. The light sensor is incorporated in the rain/light sensor located on the inside of the windshield, below the rear view mirror. The wiper system also uses the
rain/light sensor for automatic wiper operation.
The light sensor measures the ambient light around the vehicle in a vertical direction and also the angular light level from the front of the vehicle. The rain/light sensor uses vehicle speed
signals, wiper switch position and the park position of the front wipers to control the system. The automatic headlamp operation uses ambient light levels which are monitored by
photodiode incorporated in the rain/light sensor. The rain/light sensor sends a lights on/off request to the CJB on the LIN bus, which responds by switching on the low beam headlamps,
front side lamps and rear tail lamps. The automatic headlamps are activated under the following conditions:
Twilight Darkness Rain Snow Tunnels Underground or multistoried car parks.
Operation of the automatic headlamps requires the ignition to be in ignition mode 6, the lighting control switch to be in the 'AUTO' position and a lights on request signal from the light
sensor. If the rain sensor signal activates the fast speed wipers, the low beam headlamps are activated, providing the lighting control switch is in the 'AUTO' position.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
Headlamp leveling provides for the adjustment of the vertical aim of the headlamps. The leveling system is primarily required to minimise glare to other road users when a heavy load is in
the rear of the vehicle. Two systems of headlamp leveling are available; manual and static dynamic.
Manual Headlamp Leveling
The manual system uses a thumbwheel rheostat to adjust the vertical alignment of the headlamps to compensate for differing vehicle loading. The rotary thumbwheel is located on the
auxiliary lighting switch, adjacent to the illumination dimmer thumbwheel. Three positions are available to adjust the headlamps to a position to prevent glare to other road users.
Static Dynamic Headlamp Leveling
The static dynamic headlamp leveling system uses the following components:
Front and rear vehicle height sensors Two headlamp leveling, vertical adjustment motors Headlamp leveling module Ignition in mode 6 Vehicle speed information from ABS module.
The static dynamic system uses height sensors fitted to the front and rear suspension and a headlamp leveling module which periodically monitors the vehicle attitude and adjusts the
headlamp vertical alignment accordingly.
Static dynamic headlamp leveling is controlled by a headlamp leveling module located in the lower instrument panel, behind the glovebox.
The height sensors are both located on the RH side of the vehicle. The front sensor is attached to the front suspension lower arm with a strap and to the front sub frame with a bracket and
2 bolts. The rear sensor is attached to the rear suspension upper control arm with a cable tied clip and to the rear sub frame with a bracket and 2 bolts. Each sensor has 3 connections to
the headlamp leveling module; power, ground and signal.

Rear Stop and Side Lamp
The turn signal indicator, side and stop lamps and reverse lamps are located in each outer rear lamp assembly. The side lamps and stop lamps use 24 LED's. The 24 LED's are illuminated
at a higher intensity than the side lamp when the stop lamp switch is operated by pressing the brake pedal. A side marker lamp is fitted to the outer rear lamp assembly and is fitted in all
markets. The side marker lamp also uses 4 LED's and are active at all times when the side lamps are selected on.
The stop lamps can also be activated by the adaptive speed control system. A signal from the adaptive speed control module is sent via the high speed CAN bus to the RJB which activates
the stop lamps until an off message is received.
Turn Signal Indicator
The turn signal indicator lamp uses a Phillips Hypervision glass filament bulb. The bulb is located in a holder which has contacts which mate with contacts on lamp body. The holder locates
in the lamp body and is rotated to lock.
If a bulb fails, the remaining turn signal indicator lamps continue to flash at the normal speed. The applicable turn signal indicator in the instrument cluster will flash at double speed to
indicate the bulb failure to the driver.
Reverse Lamp
The reverse lamp also uses a Phillips Hypervision glass filament bulb. The bulb is located in a holder which has contacts which mate with contacts on lamp body. The holder locates in the
lamp body and is rotated to lock.
The reverse lamps are activated on receipt of a reverse selected message sent on the medium speed CAN bus to the RJB.
Rear Fog Lamp
The rear fog lamps are located in separate units attached to the luggage compartment lid. The rear fog lamps each use 3 high intensity LED's. The fog lamp locates in a recess in the
luggage compartment lid has a seal to prevent the ingress of water into the luggage compartment. The lamp is secured in the recess with a metal securing clip. The rear fog lamp is
activated using a button located on the auxiliary lighting switch in the instrument panel.

The high mounted stop lamp uses 12, red colored LED's which illuminate through a clear lens. The high mounted stop lamp functionality is the same as that described for the stop lamps.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR SIDE REPEATER LAMPS
The turn signal indicator side repeaters are located in each door mirror. On vehicles from 10MY the lamp is an LED unit which illuminates in an orange color. The LED unit is secured to the
mirror bezel with 2 screws and is connected to the mirror wiring harness with a 2 pin connector.
The side repeaters have the same functionality and operate in conjunction with the front and rear turn signal indicators and the hazard warning flashers.
HAZARD FLASHERS
The hazard flashers are activated by a non-latching switch located in the switch pack located in the center of the instrument panel. The hazard flashers operate at all times when selected
and operate independent of the ignition mode.
When the hazard flashers are selected on by the driver, a ground path is momentarily completed to the CJB which activates the front and rear and side repeater turn signal indicators. A
second press of the switch is sensed by the CJB and the hazard flasher are deactivated. When the hazard flashers are active, they override any request for turn signal indicator operation.
The hazard flashers can also be activated by a crash signal from the RCM.
