Interior lighting
Spotlight lamp (10W, length 41mm, DIN form K) should be lit when the doors are open and the switch is in the appropriate position. It is supplied with power constantly.
Remove the interior lighting fuse, otherwise there is a high risk of short circuit.
Cars without sliding roof: lamp on the right side (opposite to the switch) carefully remove from the grooves.
For vehicles with a sliding sunroof: Carefully detach the sliding sunroof motor cover (it is built into the flashlight) in front (i.e. from the windshield side) and take it out of the recess in the ceiling. To do this, you will need either a long, strong fingernail, a wide screwdriver, or a flat spoon handle.
When installing, first insert the hooks on the back of the light bulb housing into the recess in the ceiling.
Door limit switch for interior lighting
If the interior light bulb does not light, despite the switch being in the appropriate position and the door being open, the corresponding door limit switch should be checked. It connects the interior light bulb, which is constantly energized, to ground (housing) and thus closes the electrical circuit - the bulb can light. Switch malfunctions are possible if:
Left: In vehicles with an electrically sliding sunroof, the interior light bulb is integrated into the sunroof motor cover (2) at the front. To replace a burnt-out bulb, pry the cover from the front and detach it from the fastening hooks at the rear edge (arrows). Then remove the lamp cover (1).
Right: The door limit switch (1) is secured with a Phillips head screw and is housed in a rubber housing (2).
Left: The outer mirror attachment (1) on vehicles with an illuminated mirror is carefully removed from the frame in the sun visor. The microswitch (2) and both light bulbs (3 and 4) are shown.
Right: Replacing the reading light (1) after pressing the holding handle (2) and loosening both mounting screws (arrows).
The switch button is jammed in the guide or is bent - replace the switch.
The tip of the wire has come off. Bend the plug a little for better contact and reconnect.
The contact surface between the switch and the mounting bolt or plug connection has oxidized. Rub off the oxidized layer with sandpaper or a screwdriver with sharp edges. The door limit switch is screwed to the door post with only one Phillips-head screw. Dismantling - remove the rubber shell, unscrew the bolt and pull out the switch.
Interior lighting with delayed switch-off
Depending on the equipment, the interior lighting works in combination with the centrally controlled locking system via a special module as follows:
With a centrally controlled locking system:
Remove the key from the ignition and the interior light will come on.
After unlocking the car, the light inside comes on.
When the ignition is turned on, as well as when the locks are locked, the light turns off.
With delayed shutdown:
After the door is closed, the light remains on for about 30 seconds if the ignition was previously turned on or the central lock was activated.
If the door remains open for more than 4 minutes, the interior lighting turns off.
Reading light
Pull back the handle and remove the two protective caps.
Remove the two Phillips head screws located under the caps
Remove the handle and light fixture.
Replace the lamp (5 W).
Luggage compartment
Luggage compartment light (spotlight 5W, length 36mm, DIN-form L) drowned in
Remove the trunk lid or rear door
Insert a screwdriver into the recess on the side of the lamp housing, pry it up and remove the lamp.
After replacing the incandescent lamp, reinsert the lamp housing - first from the wire side.
Engine bay
Squeeze the glass of the lamp slightly on the left and right sides and remove it.
The 10W bulb has a bayonet connection.
