Earth C020 is secured to the passenger compartment floor and is positioned near the right front wheel arch (footwell area).

Having received the signal, the side lights (see wiring diagram E2010) and the dipped headlamps are switched on:

  • from pins 7 and 8 connector B the dipped headlamps housed in the front light clusters F010 and F011 are supplied;
The two lines are protected by fuses F13 (left branch) and F12 (right branch) housed inside the actual body computer node.
The supply lines protected by fuses F12, F13 are operated by a relay integrated in the body computer node.
The command for activating the follow me home function is sent from the steering column switch unit H005 via button D (flasher).
