Opening and closing76
Interior light control
The interior light is switched on for approx. 20 seconds when the
vehicle is unlocked, a door opened or the ignition key removed.
The switch must be in the door contact position for this function.
Once the door is closed, the inside light remains on for another 20
seconds (delayed switch off of inside light).
It is however switched off as soon as the vehicle is locked or the
ignition switched on, and whenever all the doors and boot/tailgate
are closed.
With the door open, the interior light will remain on for a maximum
of ten minutes. This prevents the vehicle battery from discharging.
Once the ignition is off, all inside lights, including reading light,
the one on the courtesy mirror and on the door, and the boot light,
will remain switched on for a maximum of one hour, to prevent the
battery from discharging.
