Interior Light Automatic-Shutdown Function

Illuminated interior lights such as the front dome light, etc. (all lights using the dome light fuse as the power supply) will automatically go off in the following conditions to prevent excess battery discharge as a result of forgetting to turn off the lights or incomplete closing of the door. See Fig 1.

• When the ignition switch is turned off and more than 30 minutes pass by with the interior light illuminated, the interior lights will go off automatically.
• When the ignition switch is turned off and any door switch remains open for 30 minutes continuously, the interior lights will go off automatically.
