General information on the EXT switch
Some critical, remote-activated functions are blocked until the driver has enabled re-
mote activation by pressing the EXT switch. This is a general safety function which
is used in a number of bodywork functions. Remote activation enabled is indicated
by the EXT lamp coming on in the instrument cluster.

There are two choices of switch that can be used to allow remote activation. An ad-
justable parameter that can be changed with SDP3 (Scania Diagnos & Programmer
3) makes it possible to choose which switch is to be used.
The following options are available: More information on the parameter is found in the following documents:
• Spring-loaded – Spring-loaded switch (standard from factory) • Parameters – Bodywork adaptation (current electrical system, with BCI)
• 2-position – Switch with 2 positions • Adjustable parameters – Other bodywork functions (earlier electrical system,
with BWS)

The spring-loaded switch has the following functions.
• Remote activation is enabled after the switch has been reset once.

has be turned to drive position without first resetting the switch once.
sition, the switch must first be set to OFF and then set to ON in order to enable remote
activation.
