Interior lamp
When the door is opened or the switch is turned on, the 10 W interior lamp spotlight should light up.
When removing this lamp, it is recommended to first remove the appropriate fuse in order to prevent a short circuit.
Press the latch holding the light, which is located on the side opposite the switch, and remove the light.
For vehicles with a sunroof, the interior light is smaller than for models without a sunroof.
When installing the interior lamp in place, it is placed first with the side away from the switch, and then snaps into place.
If the interior light does not come on when the door is opened, this may be due to a faulty contact switch on the door (provided that the lamp is not turned off).
The main causes of a contact switch failure can be:
- bent or pinched pressure pin. In this case, the contact switch must be replaced.
- disconnecting the plug on the wire. Fasten the plug.
- oxidation of the contact surface of the switch. Clean the contact switch with a screwdriver or sandpaper.
The contact switch is secured to the door pillar with a cross-head screw. To remove the switch, it is necessary to unscrew the rubber seal and unscrew the screw.
Interior lamp with deactivation delay
This interior light is installed in combination with the central locking system. Its operation is controlled by the central locking control unit. After closing the door, the interior light remains on for approximately 30 seconds. The exceptions are cases when the central locking was activated or the ignition was switched on before closing the doors.
If the door is left open for more than four minutes, the light will turn off.
After the ignition is turned off, the light bulb lights up.
