interior lights
dont want to get flammed here but i need help
i have read the handbook about altering the length of time the interior lights stay on for, which it claims you can alter the timing for.
cant see how to do it and it is very annoying when they stay on for up to 15mns.
can anyone help?

I found this information in the manual (Page 92) As far as I know, there is no way to change the time the interior lights, stay on. Maybe you have another setting "wrong" or a switch is not working, as the manual mentions the interior lights go off automatically after 15 minutes, if you leave them on. Hope it helps!
original text in manual:
Note: Map lamps, glovebox lamps and vanity
mirror lamps will extinguish automatically after
15 minutes to prevent battery drain provided
that the starter switch is in position 0.
I can't get the server to display the image any bigger, sorry for that.
Methinks you may be confusing the interior lights with the follow-me-home lights which, IIRC, can be adjusted for length of operation

I think you press and hold the centre switch until a message appears on the speedo info window to say you've changed modes between automatic and manual...Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

Please don't do that; I've worked with someone who only ever reffered to themselves by their own full name, never "I" or "me"...very disturbing Dr. Ian Malcolm:

'fraid I'd left my manual at home, and my web browser butchered your inserted picture of the page so I couldn't read it - glad I remembered it right!Dr. Ian Malcolm:

my lights turn off after about 60 secs once all doors are closed and will only go to 15 mins if one is left open.
