223001650 - E2510 COURTESY LIGHTS - DESCRIPTION

Description

The front interior light includes two courtesy lights with two control switches; the rear interior light, on the other hand, has only one courtesy light.

The control switches can be used to select the following operating modes for the front courtesy light:

• with the left switch in the centre position: the lights go on/off when the doors are opened/closed;
• with the left switched pushed towards the left: the lights are constantly off;
• with theleft switched pushed towards the right: the lights are constantly on;

With the courtesy light off, the right switch can be used to switch on the left or the right light, individually, according to the position of the actual switch.Some models also have two different timing systems to make it easier to get in and out of the car.

The courtesy lights come on when entering the vehicle as follows:

• when the front doors are opened for 15 seconds;
• when a door is closed (within three minutes) for seven seconds.

In every case, the timing is interrupted when the ignition is switched ON.

As far as the timing of the courtesy lights on leaving the vehicle is concerned (removal of the ignition key), the switching on follows this logic:

• within two minutes of the engine being switched off for three minutes;
• when a door is closed (within three minutes) for seven seconds.

The timing ends automatically when the doors are locked.
