LIGHTS fig. 40
Switch A is used to switch on/off courtesy lights.
With the switch A in the middle position, the lights C
and D go on/off when front doors are opened/closed.
With switch A pressed to the left, the lights C and D
are always off.
With switch A pressed to the right, the lights C and D
are always on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.
The switch B is a spot light; when the ceiling light is off,
it switches the following on individually:
❒
light C if pressed on the left side;
❒
light D if pressed on the right side.
CAUTION Before getting out of the car, make sure
both switches are in the middle position; when the
doors are closed, lights switch off preventing a possible
discharge of the battery.
In any case, if the switch is left in on position, the
courtesy light switches off automatically 15 minutes
after the engine switching off.
Courtesy 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.
TIMED OPERATION FOR GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE
The courtesy lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❒
for about 10 seconds when unlocking the front
doors;
❒
for about 3 minutes when opening one of the side
doors;
❒
for about 10 seconds when closing the doors.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition is
turned to “MAR – ON”.
