Interior lightingThe interior lighting consists of one dome
light in the front and one in the back. The
switch for the interior lighting is on the over-
head panel next to the rearview mirror.
When the switch is in the mid-position
(door-activated), the interior lighting will
come on:
When the car is unlocked from outside.
When any door is opened with the ignition
off.
When the ignition key is withdrawn from
the switch.The lighting goes out about 12 seconds
after the doors are closed or when the igni-
tion is turned on, provided that the switch is
in the mid-position.
If the doors are left open and the switch is in
position 2 or 3 with the ignition off, the inte-
rior lighting is turned off automatically after
20 minutes to preserve battery life.
The sun visors are equipped with vanity mir-
rors. On certain model variants, the sun
visors are fitted with vanity lighting, which
turns on when the cover is lifted.
9-3 Convertible: see page 52.
Trunk lightingThe trunk lighting is switched on and off
when you open and close the trunk, if the
switching button is set to ON. The lighting
can also be switched on and off using the
button on the light.

124 Interior equipment, trunkRear-view mirrorsThe rear-view mirror has day/night positions
that can be selected by means of a knob
beneath the mirror. Adjust the mirror for best
vision in the day position and pull the tab on
the bottom of the mirror toward you for the
night position.
Door mirrorsThe door mirrors are electrically adjustable.
The controls are on the driver’s door.
1 Use the upper button to select a door
mirror.
2 Use the touch pad to set the mirror ver-
tically and horizontally. There are raised
points at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock posi-
tions to indicate adjustment points.
If subjected to a certain force, the whole
mirror will fold back to prevent injury. The mirror can also be retracted by hand,
which can be useful when parking in con-
fined spaces, e.g. on car ferries. Don’t forget
to fold the mirrors out again before driving
away.
The electric heating of the door mirrors is
switched on and off with the same button as
the heating of the rear window.
NOTEThe door mirrors should be retracted
before the car is put through an automatic
carwash.
