Reading lamps

The reading lamps are located in the
front near the interior lamp and in the
rear (illustration). They can be switched
on and off with the button adjacent to
each lamp.

To keep the battery from
discharging, all of the lamps in the

vehicle are switched off automatically
approx. 15 minutes after the ignition
key has been turned to position 0.
