COURTESY LIGHTS - DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The front courtesy light includes three lamps with three control switches: it is possible to switch on the corresponding spot light using the outside buttons; the centre button switches the centre light on and off, which is also turned on with a timed delay as described below.

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

- When any of the doors is opened, the courtesy lights comes on and there is a timed delay of 3 minutes which is reactivated each time a door is opened.

- When, on the other hand, the button on the courtesy light is pressed during the timed delay, the courtesy lights are switched off and the timed delay in progress is zeroed.

- When all the doors are closed at the key-off (TEG extrated), the previous timed delay is zeroed and a 10 second timed delay is activated; (this delay is interrupted in the case of a key-on (insertion of the TEG).

- When all the doors are closed at the key-on (insertion of the TEG) the courtesy lights are immediately switched off.

- when the key is removed, the courtesy light comes 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, the courtesy light is turned on and a 10 second timer is activated.

- If the inertia switch is operated the courtesy light comes on for 15 minutes.

The switching on or off takes place gradually (dimmer) with the cycle lasting 2 seconds.

If one or more doors are open, this is shown on the instrument panel display; the warning light remain on until all the vehicle doors and boot lid are properly shut. If a given speed limit is exceeded, this is also signalled by means of a buzzer.
