II - OPERATIONAL PROGRAMMING FOR THE

The interior lights are automatically and instantly switched

- on unlocking the opening elements by the remote
control or by the detection of presence or movement
by the exterior opening control (in hands-free mode),
- on removal of the key or the Renault card.
To switch off the interior lights, the UCH enforces the
following, depending on the circumstances:
- the switching off, without delay, on closure of the
opening elements by the remote control or the
Renault card.
- delayed (progressive) switching off:
- after the last door or the boot is closed,
- on unlocking the opening elements by the remote
control or by the detection of presence or movement
by the exterior opening control (in hands-free mode),
- after the engine has started.
Note:
The UCH controls the switching off of the interior
lights after a delay of approximately 20 minutes
when the light is in forced on position.
