Switch B works as a spotlight.
Switch B positions:
❍ central position (position 1): lights C and D are always off;
❍ pressed to the left (position 0): light C is on;
❍ pressed to the right (position 2): light D is on.
IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make sure that both
switches are in the central position: lights off with doors closed in

In any case, if the switch is left inadvertently in the On position,
the lights will turn off automatically 15 minutes after turning the
engine off.
