Load compartment motion detector*
On panel vans equipped with a motion de-
tector in the load compartment, the rear
interior lighting may also switch on if mo-
tion is detected.
The rear interior lighting can be switched
on by the motion detector with a delay of
no more than 4 seconds if:
ț the switch on the rear interior lamp
(page 82) is set to “automatic con-
trol”
ț the vehicle is stationary, the handbrake
is applied and the service brake is not
applied
or
ț the selector lever is in position P and
the service brake is not applied
ț the vehicle has not been locked from
the outside using the key
i
The rear interior lamps switch off auto-
matically after 20 minutes, even if the
switches on the rear interior lamps
(page 82) are in the On position 1.
If you wish to reactivate the rear interi-
or lamps, you must:
ț open a door
ț switch on the ignition again
ț set the rear interior lighting master
control switch to position 2 again.
Warning G
Motion detectors work with invisible infra-
red beams emitted by LEDs (Light Emitting
Diodes).
Do not view invisible infrared radiation, laser
class 1M, directly using optical instruments.
Your eyes could otherwise be injured.
i
If the motion detector detects move-
ment in the load compartment when
the vehicle is stationary, the rear interi-
or lighting switches on for approxi-
mately 2 minutes. If new movements
are detected, the duration resumes
from the beginning and the rear interior
lighting remains switched on.
i
The motion detector switches off auto-
matically if no change is detected in the
vehicle for several hours, e.g. door
opened, ignition key turned, etc.
This prevents the battery from dis-
charging.
