COURTESY LIGHTS DESCRIPTION

Description

The front courtesy light and the centre courtesy light have three lamps with three control switches:

• the corresponding spot light can be switched on using external switches.
• the centre switch can be used to switch the centre light on or off and the switching on is also subject to a delay timer ("courtesy lights" mode) as described below

There is only one bulb in the rear courtesy light which can be switched on or off using the relevant switch or through a delay timer as described below.

The courtesy light operation is timed according to a logic managed by the body computer:

• unlocking the doors using the remote control or by turning the key in the lock causes all the centre lights and the spot lights to come on; their operation is subject to a delay timer and if the doors are not opened after a few seconds the lights gradually go off.
• when the remote control door locking button is pressed for a while ("location" function) all the interior courtesy lights together with the direction indicators come on for a few seconds.
• when the key is turned to position S, the front courtesy light comes on; its operation is subject to a delay timer: the lights go out gradually after a few seconds.

• when one of the front doors is opened the centre light comes on, without the spot lights, so do the "puddle" courtesy lights [EL201]; their operation is subject to a delay timer: the lights go out gradually a few seconds after the doors are closed.
