Passenger compartment lighting is switched
off when:
•
the engine is started
•
the car is locked.
The passenger compartment lighting comes
on and remains on for two minutes if one of
the doors is open.
If any lighting is switched on manually and
the car is locked then it will be switched off
automatically after two minutes.
Mood lights
When the normal passenger compartment
lighting is switched off and the engine is run-
ning, a number of LEDs illuminate, including
one in the ceiling lighting, in order to provide
a low-light and enhance the mood while driv-
ing. This lighting goes out for a little while
after the normal passenger compartment
lighting when the car is locked. The bright-
ness is controlled using the thumbwheel on
the headlamp control (p. 77).

Home safe lighting consists of dipped beam,
parking lamps, lamps in the door mirrors,
number plate lighting, interior roof lighting as
well as courtesy lighting.
