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

Power is supplied to the lamps from the central electronic module (CEM).

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