To control the interior lighting system, the CJB receives input signals from the four door latch switches and the rear lid release motor. In addition, the system interacts with the central locking system and switches on the interior lamps and mirror lamps when an unlock request is received. This request is received by the CJB from a radio frequency (RF) receiver.
The front and rear ceiling mounted interior lamps are equipped with a 3-position switch. The automatic ("Comfort") mode can be cancelled by moving the switch to the "Always on" or "Always off" position.
If Comfort mode is active and one of the body panels remains open, the CJB switches off all interior lamps after 15 minutes. If the interior lamps were switched on by the driver, the CJB switches them off after 30 minutes.
To activate the ambient comfort lighting function, press the ambient light symbol on the remote control. When this function is activated, the CJB illuminates the lamps integrated in the mirrors and a number of exterior lamps. For further information, refer to the chapter: Exterior lighting (417-01 Exterior lighting, Description and operation).
On vehicles starting with the 2009 model year, two reading lamps are integrated into the front interior light. The front interior light has two additional switches that control each lamp and operate independently of the interior light functions.
Transport mode
All new vehicles are shipped from the factory in transport mode. Transport mode disables a number of electrical systems and functions, including interior lighting, to prevent static discharge of the battery while driving. When the vehicle is in transport mode, the odometer in the instrument cluster displays 'transp'.
To cancel transport mode, a Land Rover approved diagnostic system must be connected to the vehicle during Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). Please refer to the PDI guide for further information.
