EXTERIOR LIGHTING VERIFICATION
Exterior Lighting Test Mode
This useful function allows quick verification of
the vehicle exterior lights.
Activating the test mode:
When the vehicle is stationary (parking brake
applied), pull up the multi-function lever 3 times
within 3 seconds to activate the test mode. This
test can be done when the engine is not running
providing that the battery charge is sufficient
(above 24.0 volts).
The telltale panel alarm emits a sound each
second to remind that the test mode is in
progress.
Stopping the test mode:
To stop the test mode, pull up the multi-function
lever once or turn the ignition OFF or remove the
parking brake.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The test mode is useful to check the
functioning of the multiplex outputs and the
exterior lights. It doesn't test the functionality
of the commands related to the exterior
lighting. For a complete testing, the directional
signal commands, the headlights commands
and the brake pedal have to be checked
before. Once these commands tested,
activate the test mode to check the exterior
lighting.
Using the test mode:
First, test the functionality of the commands
related to the exterior lighting:
•
Activate the right directional signal and
check that the corresponding telltale
light illuminates.
•
Activate the left directional signal and
check that the corresponding telltale
light illuminates.
•
Press on the brake pedal and check that
the STOP telltale light illuminates.
Once these commands tested, activate the test
mode to check the exterior lighting by pulling up
the multi-function lever 3 times within 3 seconds.
•
All marker lights, clearance lights and
identification lights are illuminated.
•
High and low beam headlights
illuminate.
•
All directional signal lights and center
stop lights flash.
•
Stop lights and center high-mounted
stop light (CHSL) illuminate every 4
seconds.
IMPORTANT NOTE
To check the back-up lights and back-up
alarm, you must flip the starter selector switch
to REAR START position. (If the engine is
running, do this quick enough so that the
engine does not stop).
