Switch A fig. 43 switches the roof lights on/off.
With the switch A in the central position, the lights
C and D come on/go off when front doors are
opened/closed.
With switch A pressed to the left, lights C and D are
always off. With switch A pressed to the right, the
lights C and D are always on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.

roof light is off, it switches on individually:

sure that both switches are in the central position:
when the doors are closed the lights will switch

off automatically 15 minutes after the engine
switching off.
Roof light timing
To make getting in and out the vehicle easier,
especially at nighttime or in poorly lit areas, two
timing logics are available.
Timing when getting into the car
The roof lights switch on according to the following
modes:
❒
for around 10 seconds when the front doors are
unlocked;
❒ for about 3 minutes when one of the side doors is
opened;
❒ for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timing is interrupted when the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON.
