IMPORTANT Before getting out of the car, make
sure that both switches are in the central position:
when the doors are closed the lights will switch
off to avoid draining the battery. In any case, if the
switch is left in the on position, the roof light
switches off automatically about 15 minutes after the
engine has been switched off.
ROOF LIGHT TIMING
On certain versions, to facilitate getting into/out of
the car, especially at night or in poorly-lit areas,
two timed modes have been provided.
Timing when getting into the car
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❒ for about 10 seconds when the doors are
unlocked;
❒ for about 3 minutes when one of the doors is
opened;
❒ for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timing is interrupted when the ignition key is
turned to MAR.
Three modes are provided for switching off:
❒ when all doors are closed, the 3-minute timer will
stop and a 10-second one will start. This timer will
stop when the key is turned to MAR;
