Interior Illumination Delay

This function is used to control the passenger compartment interior illumination when the ignition is OFF. When the ignition is ON, the interior illumination delay does not function.

Functions:

-"Fade in"dimmed activation of interior illumination, switch�on period of approx. 1.5 seconds.
-"Fade out"dimmed deactivation of interior illumination, switch�off period of approx. 5 seconds.
-"Time out"Interior illumination is on for approx. 10 seconds.
-longer "time out"Interior illumination is switched off after approx. 30 minutes.

The interior illumination is activated by the dimmed switch�on "fade in":

  • when there is a valid unlock command "unlock central locking" at the multitimer input
  • when a door is opened

The interior illumination is switched off immediately after ignition ON.

The interior illumination is dimmed ("fade out"):

  • when there is a valid lock command "lock central locking" at the multitimer input, provided no door is open.
  • once all doors are closed, the interior illumination switch is not actuated and the switch�off delay ("time out") has elapsed.
  • after, when a door is open and/or the interior illumination switch is actuated, the maximum switch�on duration ("long time out") has elapsed.

14.5.2.4 Interior Illumination Delay

Remarks

  • When the ignition is ON, the interior illuminations is switched on and off without dimming.
  • When the interior illumination is switched on and off via the interior illumination switch, it is always undimmed (regardless of ignition ON/OFF).
  • With ignition ON and activation of the central locking locking/unlocking inputs (e.g. by actuation of the interior locking knobs by hand), there is no interior illumination actuation.
  • The "long time out" is only activated after ignition OFF.
