ACCESS/START AUTHORIZATION, KESSY
CAUTION: When disconnecting and connecting the battery, always perform the work
procedure as described in the repair information. Refer to BATTERY,
DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
NOTE: Additional information:
Refer to the Owner's Manual.
DTC Recognition and Display
Access/start authorization is equipped with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) which assists troubleshooting. Refer to
ACCESS/START AUTHORIZATION ANTENNAE AND SENSORS, CHECKING.
General Description
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Stop System) regulates keyless opening, locking and vehicle start-up.
Opening
The ID sensor in ignition key must be located within reception range of lock location (approximately 1.5
meters). The proximity sensor located on the inside of the door handle is activated whenever the handle is
touched. This then speaks to the ID sensor inside the key and the door unlocks immediately if the identification
is valid. Pulling the door handle opens the vehicle.
Starting
The ID sensor in ignition key must be located in the vehicle interior. The clutch pedal must pressed on manual
transmission vehicles. If this is a DSG transmission vehicle, then the selector must be in the P position and the
brake pedal must pushed down. Briefly push the ignition starter button. This speaks to the ID sensor in the key
and if the identification is valid, the steering wheel unlocks and the vehicle can be started.
It is only possible to start the engine with the start button if a valid ignition key is inside the vehicle.
Locking
The ID sensor in ignition key must be located within reception range of lock location (approximately 1.5
meters). Touching the locking sensor on the outside of the door handle activates the sensor. This then speaks to
the ID sensor inside the key and the vehicle unlocks if the identification is valid.
The access/start authorization control module -J518- controls all access/start functions. Refer to
ACCESS/START AUTHORIZATION CONTROL MODULE -J518-.

HID HEADLAMPS, USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special tools and workshop equipment required
l Protective eyewear
l Gloves
WARNING: l Never replace lamps when you are not familiar with the
corresponding actions, safety precautions and tools.
-- Note the following whenever working on HID headlamps:
l Notes on hazardous high voltage / currents, refer to Notes on hazardous high voltage / currents.
l Notes on pressure, temperature and radiation / electric arc, refer to Notes on pressure, temperature and
radiation / glare.
l Assembly notes for HID lamps, refer to Assembly notes on HID lamps.
l Disposal regulations for HID lamps, refer to Disposal regulations for HID lamps.
Notes on hazardous high voltage / currents
WARNING: Light system control modules, connectors or components in the bulb

socket area conduct dangerous high voltage
The control module and igniter may be used only on the bulb.
WARNING: l Switch off ignition, switch off all electrical consumers and remove
ignition key.
l When working on headlamp system, ensure all components are
without voltage, including relieving residual voltage after switching
headlamps off.
l Residual voltages are discharged by switching low beam on and off
again after ignition key was removed.
l Make sure lamps cannot be switched on when working on headlamp
system.
Notes on pressure, temperature and radiation / glare
WARNING: l There are pressures from 7 bar (101 psi) (cold) to 100 bar (1450 psi)
(hot) in the glass portion of the HID bulb. The hot glass of the bulb
can reach temperatures of up to 700 degrees Celsius.
l The glass can explode and there is a danger of burning.
l When removing and installing HID bulbs, always wear safety glasses
and gloves.
WARNING: l Lamp must only be operated in headlamp housing (protection

against contact because of hot lamp, absorption of ultraviolet
radiation, avoiding danger of glare, explosion protection).
l Glass cones of bulbs can become very hot - danger of burns!
l Avoid looking directly into light beam, since UV radiation of the HID
lamp is approximately 2.5 times higher than that of standard
Halogen lamps.
l Avoid looking into light beam (danger of glare); vision can be
impaired for a longer period of time.
WARNING: l Avoid contact with burst glass cone.

l H7 bulbs and HID bulbs (Xenon / Bi-Xenon) are under pressure and
can burst when replaced - danger of injury!
l When removing and installing HID bulbs, always wear safety glasses
and gloves.
Assembly notes on HID lamps
CAUTION: l Before replacing a bulb, the corresponding electrical consumer must

always be switched off.
l Switch off ignition, switch off all electrical consumers and remove
ignition key.
l Do not touch glass cone of bulb with bare fingers, use clean cloth
gloves. The remaining fingerprint would evaporate due to the heat of
the operated bulb and condense on the reflector which would impair
headlamp luminosity.
l A bulb must only be replaced with one of the same version. Bulb
identification can be found on bulb socket or glass cone.
l Harness connectors must engage correctly when installed and must
be checked for proper connection.
Disposal regulations for HID lamps
WARNING: l HID lamps must be disposed of as hazardous waste, never dispose

of HID lamps via domestic waste.
l HID lamps contain metallic mercury (Hg) and traces of thallium, they
must not be destroyed.

l These components must be returned for proper recycling in
accordance with national legislation.
l Dispose of only in the designated containers at the responsible
collection point.
HID HEADLAMP AND CORNERING LAMP
NOTE: Before working on HID headlamps and cornering lamps, always switch off
headlamps and remove ignition key.
Automatic Headlamp Range Control and cornering light in HID headlamps have
On Board Diagnostics (OBD).
Familiarity with the function and operation of the lighting system is essential in
the event of customer complaints.
General Description
Headlamps with HID lamps and cornering lamps (AFS = Adaptive Front lighting System) have Bi-Xenon
function.
Gas discharge lamps generate only the low beam headlamp in standard Xenon headlamps. Bi-Xenon allows one
gas-discharge lamp to generate low beam and high beam headlamp. For this purpose, an electro-mechanical
adjuster (Left Headlamp Reflector Adjustment Solenoid -N395- and Right Headlamp Reflector Adjustment
Solenoid -N396-) opens the dimmed region of low beam Headlamp when high beam function is operated and a
high beam light emission results.
For this reason, the high beam is also adjusted automatically with the low beam on Bi-Xenon headlamps.
Headlamps with HID lamps and a cornering lamp do not have auxiliary high beams.
The cornering light system has the following functions:
l Swiveling low beams and high beams (dynamic cornering light) at vehicle speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph)
and steering angle steer.
l Cornering lamp bulb (static cornering lamp) on tight curves (curve radius < 500 meters) or when turning
and vehicle speeds under 50 km/h (31 mph).
Automatic headlamp range control, cornering lamps and vehicle electrical system control are equipped with On
Board Diagnostic (OBD) which assists troubleshooting of headlamps with HID lamps and cornering lamps.
NOTE: Malfunctions in the headlamp range control or AFS system are displayed in the
instrument cluster with the lamp failure indicator lamp.
REAR SIDE MARKER LAMPS
NOTE: The Rear side marker lamp also serves as the Left brake lamp/tail lamp -M21- or
the Right brake lamp/tail lamp -M22-.
Left brake lamp/tail lamp and right brake lamp/tail lamp, refer to BRAKE/TAIL
LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL LAMP, BULBS.

LED TAIL LAMPS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The tail lamp assemblies cannot be disassembled up to the left and right turn signals and the right back-up lamp.
The right turn signal and right back-up lamp are generated by one light bulb, which cannot be replaced
individually. The remaining lighting is provided by LEDs. Malfunctioning LEDs cannot be replaced.
NOTE: LED failure in auxiliary brake lights (not USA and Canada):
Individual LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in LED tail lamp assemblies (tail, turn
signal, brake and backup lamp) combined into groups of up to four LEDs each
and are supplied with power as a group.
LED tail lamp assemblies are constructed in such a way that when one LED
group fails as a function (e.g. brake lamp), the requirements of ECE regulations
(Economic Commission for Europe) are still met.
If another LED group fails functionally, these legal requirements are no longer
met.
When one LED group fails, the function of the intact LEDs are given a higher
load, by which failure of other LED groups can be assumed in the near future.
Replace the entire tail lamp assembly if more than 4 LEDs in one function are
faulty.
DTC recognition and display:
Vehicle electrical system is equipped with OBD which assists Fault Finding the tail lamps.
For troubleshooting, use Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing and Information System VAS 5051A in operating mode
