General description

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The numerous light sources provided ensure good lighting inside the passenger compartment and/or of some specific points under all conditions.

The front courtesy light F3 and the rear courtesy light F2 are turned on automatically when the doors are opened, in different ways depending on the versions:

• “top” versions (with fusebox “A” or “C”):
  the two courtesy lights are “timed”: they both turn on when one of the four doors is opened for 100 ÷ 200 seconds; they stay on for appr. another 15 seconds from when the door is closed.
  From chassis no.__ the roof lamp will also be turned off when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
• “low” versions (with fusebox “B”):
  the two courtesy lights both turn on when one of the front doors is opened; and they turn off when they are closed.
  N.B. the rear doors do NOT turn on the courtesy lights.

Of course, both lights may be turned on manually, with the switch to be found on them.

On the front courtesy light F3 there is also a lamp which makes for instance reading possible without disturbing the driver.

NOTE: This light is different for the versions with sunroof and with antitheft system. Nothing changes however with regard to the operation described here.

FUNCTIOnAL DESCRIPTION

The courtesy light F3 receives the supply directly from the battery through fuse F16 of fusebox G1: this makes it possible to operate the reading light or the courtesy light from the corresponding switch.

The switch has three positions:

1. – courtesy light always off
2. – courtesy light controlled by the opening/closing of the doors
3. – courtesy light turned on manually

Also light F2 is supplied by the same line, and it is fitted with a switch for manual use.

"Top" versions:

The roof lamp timer N10 - under the rear seat - is also supplied by the line of fuse F16 from chassis no.__ it also receives the “key-operated” supply (this makes it possible to cut off timing when the key is at MAR), from fuse F3 of box G1 “C”. It receives a door opening signal (earth) from one of the four switches in the door locking devices P10, P11, P12 or P13; the timed control signal is thus sent to the two roof lamps F3 and F2.

"Low" versions:

The courtesy lights are turned on automatically when the doors are opened, as a special switch (H6 for the RH door and H5 for the LH door) sends an earth signal to the courtesy lights F3 and F2.

Also the luggage compartment light F5 is supplied with battery voltage via the line protected by fuse F16; it is turned on when the boot is opened and switch H24 sends an earth signal.
