  • With the engine switched off, place the ignition key in the “Accessories” position.
  • Place the lighting stalk in position '0'.
  • Press at the end of the control. A sound signal (beep) accompanied by a message confirms that the function is activated.
You may need to hold the end button in a few seconds - but you will know when you get the beep and the message - just repeat to reactivate again.


You CLEVER DEVIL. Bang on The Money. oooppppsss.
WORKING. :-))

LATEST UPDATE, on The AUTOMATIC LIGHTING FAULT:
Just Noticed something that I haven t observed before,,,,,,,,,,it was in the dark?.
When I OPEN the DRIVERS DOOR, it Flashes the Message on the Dash..?
When I OPEN THE BOOT it Flashes the message on the Dash.?
ALL the OTHER DOORS do NOT Show it,???.
So the fault must lie in the wiring which supplies the two openings..
Getting somewhere at last,need to find corralation between the 2 opening fault doors,Hmmmm..
Any idea s welcome as usual.
