LIGHTS
Manual operation
Press the appropriate switch to turn the courtesy or map
reading lights on, press again to turn off.
The front courtesy light switch (arrowed) will also operate the
rear courtesy lights.
Automatic operation
NOTE: If a door or the boot is left
open for longer than 16 minutes,
a ‘time-out’ function will
extinguish the interior lights
automatically to prevent the
battery from discharging.
Courtesy light illumination occurs automatically whenever
the car is unlocked, when a door or the boot lid is opened or
when the starter switch is turned off providing the headlights
have been illuminated during the previous 30 seconds. The
lights remain illuminated for 20 seconds after the doors are
closed, or until the starter switch is turned on.
After driving, the courtesy lights will fade and then extinguish
20 seconds after the last door is closed, or as soon as the car is
locked.
‘Permanent off’
If necessary, the automatic illumination features described
above can be switched off, as follows:
Press and hold the courtesy light switch for a full 5 seconds.
The interior lights (including the boot light) will flash and
then extinguish. Automatic operation is now suppressed
(manual operation is still available). To restore automatic
operation, repeat the above process (i.e. press and hold the
front courtesy light switch for a further 5 seconds).
