warning light BMW 530I 2001 E39 Central Body Electronics ZKE Manual

Rear Seat Interior/Reading Light Units: In
each C pillar trim panel is an interior/reading light
unit.
These units each contain an interior light that is
controlled with the front interior light and a
mechanically switched reading light on the con-
sumer cut off circuit.
Front Footwell Lights: In each front footwell,
there is also a courtesy light. These lights are
only operated when the GM provides power to
the interior lighting circuit.
On E38 and E53 the doors also contain courtesy
lights at the lower edge of the door panel (1).
Door Warning Lights (E38): The additional
“red” warning lights are installed in the edge of
the doors (2). These lights are illuminated when
the doors are opened.
Illuminated Transmission Shift Indicator
(E38): The E38 uses a microprocessor for dis-
playing the shifter position in the center console.
The processor receives shift position signals
from a console mounted range switch. The
processor illuminates the LED corresponding to
the position of the range selector.
The park position LED will remain “on” after the
ignition is switched off and stay on until the GM
goes into the “sleep” mode.
Soft Lighting Feature: The GM provides progressive voltage (up to 12v) providing the soft
on feature
to the interior lighting circuit when the interior lights are required. The GM grad-
ually reduces the full 12 volt power supply providing soft off
when interior light deactivation
is required.
