How to turn Led Auxiliary Lights on?

[alex3dworld]

does anybody knows how to turn on the front Led Auxiliary Lights? i understand the car needs to be in Off-road mode? but the owners manual just said: switch on the ignition and press the auxiliary lights button in the top panel. confusing..........i have a field master in US if it makes any difference.

As noted in the US Manual:

LED Auxiliary High Beam Lights: Switch on or off to prime the LED Auxiliary High Beam Lights. When the main beam is switched on, then the LED Auxiliary High Beam Lights will activate. Off-Road/Wading Mode must be activated.

LED auxiliary lights The Grenadier as standard is fitted with LED Auxiliary Lights. These LED auxiliary high beam lights are in the front grill and are designed for off-road use only. The LED Auxiliary Lights can only be activated with the high beam switched on and Off-Road or Wading mode is active. WARNING: The LED Auxiliary Lights are for use only off road when local laws and regulations permit. They are strictly for off-road purposes and could temporarily blind drivers in oncoming traffic. To Activate LED Auxiliary Lights:
1. Switch on the ignition and press the auxiliary light button in the Overhead Control Panel. 2. The LED in the button will be illuminated to show the system is active. 3. When the headlights are turned on, the auxiliary lights will now also be illuminated.

Off road mode, aux lights switch on, then it is triggered by the high beams

yeap, looks like i have a problem.
i can't make them work. im going to check on the fuse box. before taking it to the dealer.
anybody knows what fuse to look for?
does anybody have a video tutorial of how to make them work in US?
i know this awesome guy but his grenadier is not from US, he doesn't need to engage the of-road.

The manual appears to be describing the European way. Which is just to press the aux light button on the top panel. Offroad mode is not needed.

i'm going to be kicking my head if i'm missing something stupid and i drive an hour to the dealer,
i tried 20 times,
the small display over the steering wheel shows that I'm engaging everything right, when i go outside...no aux. lights on.
the cables are connected to the button of the aux lights as supposed, i check thru the front grill.
unless they forgot to connect the harness from the power source? i just read in the forums that there are no fuse for the lights, they are managed by a cpu of some sort. Oh dear.

As long as you are in either Wading Mode or Off Road (overhead buttons), don't exceed 35mph and have high beams on, then the Aux lights should come on.
*If I get time today, I'll head to garage and get video/pics

Did you activated your high beams?

 

[alex3dworld]

yes, thank you. supposedly the aux lights work together with the high beams when of-road mode engage and top panel aux lights is on. I'm going to give it a last test tonight. i already text my sales guy at the dealer and he replayed he is looking into it. The whole system is stupid, you should be able to turn on those lights whenever you like, if you get caught with them on road you will pay the fine or go to jail and that's it. Automobile industry should not be policing people over how to use lights.

I tend to agree. The whole enforcement of safety vs giving the user flexibility is a bit misplaced for this vehicle type. They could have just done warnings that this is off-road only as printed text in the manual or with text near the button.
