WARNING Before getting out of the
vehicle, make sure that the ceiling
light bulbs are off; this will prevent the
battery level from being uselessly
drained once the doors are closed. In any
case, if a light is left on by mistake, the
ceiling light switches off automatically
about 15 minutes after the engine has
been switched off.
Ceiling light timing
On certain versions, to facilitate getting
in/out of the vehicle at night or in poorly-
lit areas, two timed modes have been
provided.
Timing while getting into the car
The roof lights switch on according to the
following modes:
for a few seconds when the doors are
unlocked;
for about 3 minutes when one of the
doors is opened;
for a few seconds when the doors are
locked.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition
device is turned to ON.
Three modes are provided for switching
off:
when all doors are closed, the three-
minute timer will stop and a few-seconds
one will start. This timing will stop when
the ignition device is turned to ON;
when doors are locked (either with
remote control or with key inserted
on driver side door), the ceiling light
switches off;
the interior lights are switched off in
any case after 15 minutes to preserve
battery charge.
Timing while getting out of the car
After positioning the starter switch to
STOP, the ceiling lights switch on as
follows:
for a few seconds after the engine
stops;
for about 3 minutes when one of the
doors is opened;
for a few seconds when one of the
doors is closed.
The timing stops automatically when the
doors are locked.
Courtesy ceiling lights
Behind the driver and passenger sun
visor (where provided) there is a
courtesy light which illuminates the
mirror behind the sun visor itself fig. 49.
The ceiling light turns on automatically
when the cover (1)fig. 49 is lifted.

position.
