Emergency Light Operating Mode: Notes
An emergency backup hardware circuit completely independent of the BC1 will ensure certain lights can function in the event of a failure within the BC1.
During normal operation a cycling frequency from the BC1 deactivates this emergency circuit. This cycling frequency should be at least 15 Hz. Emergency operation is initiated if this does not take place.
The emergency mode provides the following lights from ignition position 1 regardless of the light switch position:
- Front sidelights
- Rear sidelights
- Low beam lamps
- Left and right brake lamps (when the brake switch is active)
The following functions will not operate in Emergency Mode:
- Direction indicator lamps
- Hazard warning lamps
- Main beam lamps
- Front fog lamps
- Communication via the K-bus
- Instrument/switch illumination
