Lighting external and internal (Peugeot 206)

Important safety elements of a car are headlights, lanterns and lamps.



The interior lighting is provided by several lamps (shades) and is controlled automatically. When the ignition is turned off — the key is set to the "S" position — all interior lighting in the car is turned off after 15 minutes, regardless of the position of the switches. The central (front) interior lighting lamp is located above the windshield and is controlled by switch A (figure 1.68).

The front ceiling light is switched on depending on the position of switch A:

- the front ceiling light turns on when one of the body doors, the trunk or the tailgate is opened (206 SW);

- the lamp is off;

- the lights are constantly on when the ignition key is set to position "A" or "M".

While driving, the central light starts to flash if one of the doors is not closed tightly.



The individual (local) lighting lamps are located in front, next to the front interior light. They are switched on by key switch B (see figure 1.68), located near local lamps.
