Warning
G
The rear lamps are concealed when the
rear doors are opened 90° (detent posi-
tion).
The vehicle is then not sufficiently safe-
guarded at the rear and may only be seen
by other road users when they are close
to the vehicle. This could lead to an acci-
dent.
Make sure, therefore, that the vehicle is
safeguarded at the rear in accordance
with national legal requirements, e.g.
with a warning triangle.

Load compartment motion detector*On panel vans equipped with a motion
detector in the load compartment, the
rear interior lighting may also switch on
if motion is detected.
The rear interior lighting can be switched
on by the motion detector with a delay of
no more than 4 seconds if:
\4
the switch on the rear interior lamp
(\2
page 139) is set to “automatic
control”
\4
the vehicle is stationary, the hand-
brake is applied and the service
brake is not applied
or
\4
the selector lever is in position
P and
the service brake is not applied
\4

the outside using the key
Warning
G
Motion detectors work with invisible in-
frared beams emitted by LEDs (Light
Emitting Diodes).
Do not view invisible infrared radiation, la-
ser class 1M, directly using optical instru-
ments.
Your eyes could otherwise be injured.
iIf the motion detector detects move-
ment in the load compartment when
the vehicle is stationary, the rear in-
terior lighting switches on for ap-
proximately 2 minutes. If new
movements are detected, the dura-
tion resumes from the beginning and
the rear interior lighting remains
switched on.
iThe motion detector switches off auto-
matically if no change is detected in the
vehicle for several hours, e.g. door
opened, ignition key turned, etc.This prevents the battery from dis-
charging.
