ROAD LIGHTING
For your information the wiring diagram of
the 12N and 12S connectors is shown
opposite. These should be checked regularly
and if in any doubt a qualified electrician
consulted.
Some European cars may be equipped with
Volta, Jeager, West or multi-con sockets, an
adaptor or replacement sockets may be
required. If so consult your dealer or qualified
electrician.
The wiring allocations were changed in 1998
and it is important that you check the car to
caravan connections are compatible prior to
coupling up to the car.
WARNING: Always disconnect the
electrical connector between the
towing vehicle and the caravan before
connecting a low voltage supply to the
caravan (mains) and before charging
the battery (EN 1648-1).
• All road lights must be in working order.
• Lenses and reflectors must be in good
condition
• Bulbs must be of correct wattage for the
application (see Service handbook).
