System Operation
GEM.
The following functions are controlled or performed
by the GEM at a battery voltage of between 9 and
16 volts:
• Current distribution
• Battery charging (Smart Charge)
• Ignition overload protection
• Headlamp switch-off delay
• Turn signals
• Interior lighting
• Heated windscreen
• Heated rear window and heated external mirrors
• Ambient air temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Automatic headlamps
• Combined rain sensor/light sensor
• Windshield wash/wipe system
• Speed control – reads the speed control switches andtransmits signals on the CAN data bus
• central door locking – transmits signals on the CAN data bus
• Anti-theft
• Electric booster Heater
• Climate control
• Parking brake –(monitors the switch and transmits the signal
on the CAN data bus
• Communication via the medium-speed CAN data bus Component Description
Battery charging (Smart Charge)
In addition to the familiar functions, the Smart
Charge system also performs the following
functions:
•
Automatic deactivation of non-critical high power
electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is low in order to reduce the level of current
drawn.
• Automatic activation of non-critical high power electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is excessively high in order to protect
components which are sensitive to increased
voltages.
The battery charging current is optimized through
continuous calculation of the battery temperature
and monitoring of the alternator output voltage.
The alternator load is signaled to the PCM
(powertrain control module) in order to provide it
with an early indication when an electric component
is to be switched on or off, thereby also providing
information about imminent changes to the amount
of torque demanded by the alternator. By
evaluating this information the PCM is capable of
increasing the stability of the engine under idling.
The two remaining functions of the Smart Charge
system are controlled by the GEM. G1030788en

Turn signals
Description
Item
External mirror housing
1
Turn signals
2
The GEM switches the direction indicators and the
direction indicator side repeaters on.
The GEM sends a signal to the instrument cluster
via the CAN bus to switch on the relevant turn
indicator and the acoustic signal.
The signals from the hazard flasher switch and
from the multifunction switch are transmitted to the
GEM via a wiring connection.
The turn signals and the warning lamp flash at a
specified frequency and, in the case of failure of a
turn signal, the frequency is doubled.
The turn signal lamps also have a one-touch lane
change function. If the multifunction lever is
pressed just slightly then the relevant turn signal
lamp is actuated 3 times by the GEM.
Interior lighting
Depending on the vehicle specification, the interior
lighting includes:
• Left and right-hand footwell lamps
• Overhead lights at front and rear
Depending on the vehicle specification, the
switchable interior lighting includes:
• Map lights
• Mirror lights in sun visors
• Glove compartment lamp
• Luggage compartment lamp
The front and rear overhead lights are switched on
by the GEM. The interior lighting is switched on if one of the
following conditions is satisfied:
One of the vehicle's doors is opened.
The ignition key is in the "0" or "I" position and the
vehicle is unlocked.
The ignition key is turned from the "II" to the "I" or
"0" position.
The interior lighting is switched off when all of the
doors are closed and one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
• 25 seconds have elapsed since the last door
was closed.
• The ignition key is turned from the "0" or "I" to the "II" position.
• The ignition key is in the "0" or "I" position while the vehicle is locked.
The dimmer function is not used if the interior
lighting is switched off via the battery protection
function.
Heated windscreen
The heated windshield is switched on by the GEM
under the following conditions:
• The heated windshield switch is operated, the ignition switch is in position "II" and the charge
warning lamp is switched off.
• The "Defrost" function of the two-zone air conditioning has been activated, the ignition
switch is in the position "II" and the charge
warning lamp is off.
• The battery voltage has exceeded 16 V for more
than 20 seconds (power management strategy).
Manual requests for switching off the heated
windshield by pressing the switch are ignored
at this time.
• The engine was started at an outside air temperature below 4°C and an engine
temperature below 65°. Manual requests for
switching off the heated windshield by pressing
the switch are accepted.
NOTE: If the battery voltage returns to the normal
range, the disabling of the heated windshield is
switched off. It is then switched off.
The heated windshield is switched off by the GEM
under the following conditions: G1030788en

• 4 minutes have elapsed since the button for the
heated windshield was pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the "I" or "0" position.
• The "Defrost" function is deactivated or the switch for the heated windscreen is pressed
again while the heated windscreen is still
switched on.
• The charging system warning indicator is switched on.
• The battery voltage falls below the threshold value for low battery voltage for more than 20
seconds (power management strategy). Manual
requests for switching on the heated windshield
by pressing the switch are ignored at this time.
• More than 4 minutes have passed since starting
the engine.
Heated rear window and heated external
mirrors
The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN
bus to the door modules to switch on the heated
exterior mirrors.
The heated rear window and the heated exterior
mirrors are switched on by the GEM under the
following conditions:
• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed and the ignition switch is in the "II"
position.
• The "defrost" function of the air conditioning is activated and the ignition switch is in the position
"II".
• The battery voltage has exceeded 16 V for more
than 20 seconds (power management strategy).
Manual requests to switch off the heated rear
window by pressing the button are ignored at
this time.
• The engine was started at an outside air temperature below 4°C and an engine
temperature below 65°. Manual requests for
switching off the heated rear window by pressing
the switch are accepted.
NOTE: If the battery voltage returns to the normal
range then the disabling of the heated rear window
is cancelled - the heated rear window is then in a
switched-off state.
The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN
bus to the door modules to switch off the heated
exterior mirrors. The heated rear window and the heated exterior
mirrors are switched off by the GEM under the
following conditions
• 14 minutes have elapsed since the button for
the heated rear window was pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the position "0", "I" or "III".
• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed or the "defrost" function of the air
conditioning is deactivated while the heated rear
window is switched on.
• The battery voltage has dropped below 10.3 V for more than 20 seconds (power management
strategy). Manual requests for switching on the
heated rear window by pressing the switch are
ignored at this time.
• More than 14 minutes have passed since starting the engine.
Ambient air temperature
The ambient air temperature sensor is connected
via a cable to the GEM. It measures the outside
air temperature to an accuracy of around ±0.5 °C.
The GEM broadcasts the ambient air temperature
on the medium speed CAN bus, where it can be
evaluated by various systems.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level switch is connected via a
cable to the GEM.
The GEM transmits a message on the medium
speed CAN bus. The instrument cluster then
transfers this message to the high speed CAN bus
where it is made available for various other
functions.
