2892485 - E2011 DIPPED HEADLAMPS - Functional description

Functional description

The circuit for the dipped beam headlamps is operated by the steering column switch unit H5. By placing the switch in the dipped beam position, the line which supplies the headlamps F10 (left) and F11 (right) is supplied controlled by the ignition. Each circuit is protected by a fuse in the junction unit B1: F5 for the right headlamp and F4 for the left one. With the dipped beam headlamps on, this supply passes through the dipped beam headlamps maintenance relay/remote control switch J45. If the dipped beam and main beam headlamps are switched, this supply is interrupted, but it is replaced by the one supplied from pin 87 of remote control switch J45: the signal for switchign on the main beam headlamps - through the line for fuse F7 of the junction unit B1 - energizes the relay (pin 85) which switches the supply at the direct line (maxifuse J/B2 for B5) which keeps the circuit for the dipped headlamps and the main beam headlamps supplied. The supply line for the right lamp - protected by fuse F5 - also acts as the go ahead signal for the headlamp alignment ( See E3080 HEADLAMP AGLINMENT CORRECTOR ) and the headlamp washer ( See E3022 HEADLAMP WASHER ).
