Front roof light (fig. 145)
The roof light comprises two lights with the
control switch.
With switch (A) in the central position
(1), both lights turn on when a door is
opened.
When the doors are closed, a timer is activated
for about 7 seconds, to allow the car
to be started. The lights go out when the ignition
key is turned to MAR (with the doors
closed).
Moving switch (A) to the left (position 0),
the lights stay off (position OFF).
Moving switch (A) to the right (position
2) both lights stay on.
The spot function is operated by switch
(B).
Moving switch (B) to the left (position 1)
the left spot light turns on. Moving switch
to the right (position 2) the right spot light
turns on.
With switch (B) in the central position (position
0) the spotlights stay off.
WARNING Before leaving the car, make
sure that both switches are in the central position.
This way, the roof lights will go out
when the doors are closed. If a door is left
open, the lights will go out automatically after
a few seconds.
To turn them on again, simply open another
door or close the same one and open
it again.
