limited time, i.e. they turn on and off
gradually.
Ceiling light operation
All the ceiling lights come on auto-
matically when the doors are opened
with the remote control or when the
key is introduced in the door lock. Af-
ter some seconds, the lights will go out
gradually, without opening the doors.
When the door lock button on the
remote control is pressed for a long
time, the so-called “localisation” func-
tion is activated: all the ceiling lights
in the passenger compartment come
on together with the direction indi-
cators. This function is recognised by
the system up to a distance of about
30 meters from the vehicle. If the ignition key is turned to S(or
removed) the first row ceiling light
comes on. It will stay on only for a lim-
ited time and will go out gradually.
When one of the front doors is
opened, the central ceiling light, with-
out the spot lights, and the puddle
lights on the doors come on. They re-
main lit for a set time and after a cou-
ple of seconds the door have been
closed, they go off gradually. When the
engine is started, the lights will go off
progressively after a couple of seconds.
When one of the rear doors is
opened the central ceiling light, with-
out the spot lights, come on. It re-
mains lit for a set time and after a cou-
ple of seconds the door have been
closed, it goes off gradually.When the tailgate is opened the lug-
gage compartment lights come on
(one or two lights according to the
model). The lights will go off gradual-
ly when the tailgate is closed.
