Regarding dome lights.
The manual has the following:
..................
H1/4 Black/White (from Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide)
"Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive circuits up to 30 amps. The polarity of this output is determined by the connection of the input wire H1/3 in the Relay Harness"
..................
So no external relay needed but then in the features section it has:
..................
IGNITION CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT
"If turned on [the feature], the system will turn on the domelight for 30 seconds when the ignition is turned off. The domelight supervision output H1/4 wire must be connected to an optional relay as described in the Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide."
..................
Why does it need an optional relay if it has the on-board one?
In searching this forum I found mention that if it has two wires for the dome light then it has the onboard relay and the 211HV does (1/3 and 1/4) but don't want to risk frying anything should would appreciate some clarification on why the 'feature' says to use a relay.

The H1/3 and H1/4 wires are the same as contacts 30 and 87 on a relay. I'm guessing a previous 211 model didn't have a relay. DEI used an old manual didn't proofread.
On page 4 of the manual that I have shows primary harness H1 having 12 positions. The description below shows 18 positions.

You'll have to read Directed's next manual (or at least the manual that section was copy and pasted from) to find out.
