automatically deactivated after some time,
unless the key is in position 2 in the ignition lock.
Automatic interior lighting control
The interior lighting is activated for about
20 seconds when the key is removed from the
ignition lock. For a vehicle with steering wheel
buttons, the light delay function for the interior
lighting can be switched on and off using the on-
