Interior mood lightingThe dimmed passenger compartment lighting improves visibility in the vehicle when the light is
p o o r.
At night, the interior mood lighting comes on
automatically when the sidelamps are switched
on (for example, a source of light in the roof
console illuminates the middle of the centre
console).
The interior mood lighting switches off
automatically when the sidelamps are
switched off. Lamps on: there are 7 levels of brightness.
The level of brightness increases progressively
with each press of the button, returning to zero
after the maximum level is reached.

lighting level for the interior lamp, as well as
for the door opening controls and the storage
locations (depending on version).Footwell lighting
Activation
Its operation is identical to that of the courtesy
lamps. The lamps come on when one of the
doors is opened. The soft lighting provided by the footwell lamps
improves visibility in the vehicle when the light
