The courtesy lamp is controlled by a switch (2) on the lamp and also by switches
operated by the doors. With both doors closed the lamp may be switched on or
off using the switch on the lamp. Opening either door switches on the lamp and
closing the door extinguishes it.
Early cars: The lamp is provided as a map light. Pull out the switch knob
to operate the lamp. The map light only operates when thesidelampsare switched
on and is not provided with door-operated switches.
Press the knob right in to heat the lighter element. When heated sufficiently, the
lighter unit will be partially ejected and it is then ready to be withdrawn for
lighting purposes.
Press the lower end of the switch rocker (4) to operate the heated rear window,
which will operate only when the ignition is switched on. The indicator light ( 5 )
glows as a reminder that the heater is operating.
Early cars. The electrically heated back-light is controlled by a switch mounted
on the fascia panel in the position normally occupied by the heater blower switch,
the blower being repositioned on the under-side of the fascia panel below the
windscreen wiper switch. The heated back-light will operate only when the
ignition is switched on; an indicator lamp in the switch will glow when the
switch knob is pulled out to the 'on' position.
To use the direction indicators as hazard warning lights, press the lower end of
the switch rocker; all the direction indicators and the warning lamps will operate,
irrespective of whether the ignition is switched on or off.
