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
