Rear lamp

When the door is open, the interior lighting switches off after 10 minutes at the most. This prevents unwanted battery discharge.

On vehicles with central locking, the interior lighting is switched on for approximately 20 seconds when the vehicle is unlocked or the key is removed from the ignition. This requires that the switch for the relevant light be in the door contact control position.



However, the lamps immediately go out when the car doors are locked or when the ignition is turned on.

Trunk light

The lamp lights up when the trunk lid is open (also when the external lighting and ignition are turned off). Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the trunk lid is always closed when the vehicle is parked.

Glove box lighting

The light in the glove box only lights up when the outside lights are on and the glove box lid is open.
