There are a number of lamps positioned around the car to mark its position. These are in the headlamps, tail lamps and on the front fenders (US model). The lamps light together with the number plate lighting when the light switch module (LSM) is in parking lamp mode or low beam is on.

The lamps are powered directly via two outputs on the central electronic module (CEM). One of the outputs powers:

• the front left-hand parking lamp
• the left-hand parking lamps
• the license plate lighting
• the rear right-hand parking lamp.

The other output powers:

• the front right-hand parking lamp
• the right-hand side parking lamps
• the rear left-hand parking lamp.

There are diagnostics for the light switch module (LSM) and the lamps.
