15.7 DOCKING AND CORNERING
LIGHTS
This vehicle is provided with two halogen
sealed-beam units that serve as cornering lights.
They are mounted on the vehicle as follows: one
is mounted on the front L.H. side service
compartment door, while the other is located
between the front wheel and the entrance door
on the R.H. side. The main function of these
lights is to increase lateral visibility when turning
a corner. These lights are energized
simultaneously with the directional lights. On the
V.I.P. model, a dashboard-mounted rocker
switch may be actuated to cancel this system in
special situations.
Two additional halogen sealed-beam units are
installed on rear electrical compartment door
(R.H.) and radiator door. These lights are used
as docking lights and both will illuminate
automatically when reverse range is selected to
facilitate back-up or docking procedure.
On the V.I.P. model, these lights do not operate
automatically when the reverse range is
selected, but by means of a dashboard-mounted
rocker switch. When actuated, the docking as
well as the cornering lights illuminate.
Furthermore, a “Low docking” switch, also
located on dashboard, allows the use of the
docking and cornering lights at a lower intensity
when the docking switch is actuated.

Both docking and cornering sealed-beam units
can be changed in accordance with the following
