Automatic Control

The automatic control of the interior lamps has several on and off conditions as follows:

• The interior lamps are on when one or more doors are opened. When all the doors are closed, the interior lamps are switched off after a delay of 60 seconds. If the vehicle is locked after closing the doors, within the 60 second period, the lamps go off immediately.
• When the interior lamps are on and the ignition is in power mode 0 or 6, the lamps go off immediately after all doors have been closed.
• In power mode 0, the interior lamps are switched on for 60 seconds. This timer is overridden if a door is subsequently opened.
• When the vehicle is unlocked and the doors are closed, the interior lamps can be activated for a further 60 second period by pressing the 'unlock' button on the smart key.
• When the vehicle is unlocked from a locked condition, the interior lamps are activated for a 60 second period. This timer is overridden if a door is subsequently opened.
• If a door is left open, the interior lamps will remain on for 16 minutes. After this period, the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) assembly timer switches opens the contacts of the power saver relay and the interior lamps are switched to off to prevent excessive primary battery drain.
