The front light is activated when one of the side doors of the vehicle is opened and goes out after a short delay after the door is closed/ignition is turned on. If the corresponding equipment is installed, the individual front seat light must be activated for constant illumination (see below). Rear light (with appropriate equipment) can be equipped with a 3-position switch (see below). In the middle position of the switch, the lighting is activated automatically when any of the side doors of the car is opened and goes out with a short delay after the door is closed.

Caution: Do not leave the lights on for a long time with the engine off!
