Permanent Off Mode

The interior light output will always be able to assume permanent OFF  mode. Pressing the interior light switch and holding it for more than 5 seconds will put the interior light (and map light if coded) into the permanent OFF  mode, this is confirmed with a short flash of the interior light.

In permanent OFF  mode, all on conditions except momentary interior light switch operations are ignored. To return the interior lights to the automatic mode press the interior light switch again and hold for 5 seconds. If the interior lights are in permanent OFF  mode, triggering of the inertia switch from ignition position 1 returns the interior light to the automatic control mode.

The map reading lights will also be able to assume permanent OFF  mode if coded.
