Special technology was chosen to produce the dashboard which allows the objects to have a pleasant "giving" sensation.The finish of the surface chosen also enhances this pleasant feeling.There has been an important innovation with the trim material for the dashboard and the door panels which makes use of an innovative technique involving lasers which, with an extremely small ray, endow the material with a superficial morphology which also has low opacity.
Materials
As far as the materials are concerned, on the other hand, it should be pointed out that the dashboard and door panel trims are made from polypropylene a material which, in the field of automotive plastic materials, has a low environmental impact during transformation and can be easily recycled at the end of the product''s life.The use of this material in mid grey for the dashboard and the door panels also allows for optimum colour matching between the various components and gives the passenger compartment a spacious and welcoming appearance.
Interior lighting
The lighting of the current socket, ashtray and cigar lighter remains on as long as the exterior side lights are on. The function is deactivated at the key off or when the lights are turned off.
Front courtesy light
The front courtesy light includes two lamps with three control pushbuttons: the pushbuttons can be used to turn on the corresponding light directly or in a timed manner, 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:- when any door is opened, both the front spotlights and the rear courtesy light come on for 3 minutes. The timer is reactivated whenever the door is opened;- when all the doors are closed; the lights stay on for a further 10 seconds with the key off. This time is interrupted if the key is moved to key on position: in this case, the courtesy lights are turned off immediately.- When all the doors are closed at key-on the courtesy lights are immediately switched off.- when the key is extracted, both the front spotlights and the rear courtesy light are turned on and a 10 second timer is activated.- all the courtesy lights are turned off at the door lock control;- at the door release command, both the front spotlights and the rear courtesy light are turned on and a 10 second timer is activated.- If the inertia switch is operated the courtesy lights come on for 15 minutes.The switching on or off takes place gradually (dimmer) with the cycle lasting 2 seconds.The power supply to all the courtesy lights is governed by a battery voltage control logic: with the key off when any door or the boot is opened, a time of 15 seconds is set. After this, all the courtesy lights are deactivated.
