ROOF LIGHTS
FRONT ROOF LIGHT
Switch A fig. 39 switches the roof lights on/off.
A switch positions:
❒
central position (position 1): lights C and D switch on/off when the
doors are opened/closed.
❒
pressed to the left (position 0): lights C and D are always switched
off;
❒
pressed to the right (position 2): lights C and D are always switched
on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.
switch B controls the spot light function.
B switch positions:
❒
central position (position 1): lights C and D are always switched off;
❒
pressed to the left (position 0): light C switches on;
❒
pressed to the right (position 2): light D switches on.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure that both switches
are in the central position: when the doors are closed the lights will
switch off to avoid draining the battery.
In any case, if the switch is left inadvertently in the permanently on
position, the roof light will turn off automatically 15 minutes after the
engine stopping.
ROOF LIGHT TIMING
On certain versions, to facilitate getting in/out of the car at night or in
poorly-lit areas, two timed modes have been provided.

The timed period is interrupted when the ignition key is turned to MAR.

After removing the key from the ignition switch, the roof lights switch
on as follows:
❒
within 2 minutes of the engine being switched off for a period of
around 10 seconds;

for about 3 minutes when one of the doors is opened;
❒
for about 10 seconds when one of the doors is closed.
