SWITCHING INTERIOR LIGHTS ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY, FUNCTION - GF82.20-P-2010GH
MODEL 163
Automatic actuation of interior lights is triggered by
opening a door,
unlocking vehicle with transmitter key,
switching off ignition within 30 seconds of switching off exterior lighting (terminal 58k)
or
after crash recognition.
When opening a door, the respective rotary tumbler microswitch (S87/2, S87/3, S87/6 or S87/7) is actuated
and a signal for automatic light actuation is sent to All-Activity-Module (AAM, N10)
With crash recognition by ETR control module with airbag (ETR/ AB, N2/2) up to 11.99 or by restraint
systems control module (N2/7) as of 12/99, signal for automatic light actuation is sent to All-Activity-Module
via a separate cable.
All-Activity-Module actuates correspondin

Plugs and couplings. with yellow, orange or red housing colors are reserved for safety and restraint systems
(SRS) and roll bars.
Observe the following when repairing couplings for squibs (SRS systems):
The repair area must be between 100 mm and 1000 mm behind the squib. Cables which have already been
repaired are provided with a yellow marking. This is to be applied retroactively to repair lines without color
marking.
Carry out the first repair as close to the plug as possible. In the case of subsequent repairs the old soldered
connectors should be removed and the new ones should be attached behind them, the wiring harness should be
replaced if necessary.
Before cutting through the lines it is absolutely essential to assign the lines to the corresponding pins in
accordance with the wiring diagram. Do not mix up the pin assignment.
The line colors of the repair kit may deviate from the original fitting
Screened lines and light plastic-sheathed cable must never be repaired
In general the following applies to cable repair:
If more than ten lines per branch-off line are damaged, the wiring harness module must be replaced.

combination relay (turn signals with trailer coupling, rear

window defroster, wiper motor, anti-theft alarm system)

(N10/2), and in model 210 from the multifunction control

module (N10-1) or the driver's side signal acquisition and

actuation module (SAM) (N10/1).

In model 168 the entire turn signal control is located in the

instrument cluster (A1).

Brake fluid / parking brake warning lamp (A1e7)

The signal for the brake fluid comes direct from the brake fluid level switch (S11) (except model 163).

(The signal for the parking brake comes over CAN.)

Remove the SI SI91.60-P-0002A from your file

It is recommended to place the child seat in the rear area if

possible.

If, in exceptional cases, the owner wishes a rearward mounted child
seat to be expressly attached on the front passenger seat, the front

passenger airbag should be immobilized.


As a general rule, there is no approval for immobilizing the front

passenger airbag on models fitted with ACSR, which is visible from

the "airbag OFF" indicator light in the center console. On such

models, an MB child seat with ACSR should be used for safety and

cost reasons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On models fitted with seat belt force limiter, it is essential for

safety reasons to

D
program the front passenger ETR to "NO".

D
unplug the connector at the front passenger ETR.


No provision is made for immobilizing the seat occupied

recognition, the automatic child seat recognition (ACSR), as well as

the side airbag and window airbag.

In the event that it is necessary to immobilize the seat occupied

recognition and automatic child seat recognition (ACSR), for example

if a Recaro seat is installed, this can be carried out in exceptional

cases after agreement has been obtained from GSP/SPS, tel. 07031

/ 90 - 81815.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


After immobilizing the front passenger airbag or additionally the

ETR, it is essential to

D
have the customer sign the confirmation after immobilization.

D
affix a sticker at a clearly visible point in the area of the front

passenger airbag.

D
affix a sticker in the Owner's Manual, in the section Airbag.

Carry out the remaining procedure as stated below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deactivation can be reversed at any time.

Immobilization and re-activation must be entered in the

vehicle documents!

The vehicle should be presented in such a case to a technical

inspection center (DEKRA, TÜV). The completed confirmation

should be submitted to the vehicle registration authorities for
