Courtesy lights
A courtesy light at the right hand end of the
lower edge of the fascia operates together with
the interior lights when either of the front doors
are open. On some models the lights will remain
on for a short time after the doors are closed or
until the ignition switch is turned on.
Cigar lighter (where fitted)
The cigar lighter (A) is located in the centre
console. Press the knob to operate the lighter,
which will partially eject when the lighter
element has heated, and can then be withdrawn
for use. Carefully replace the lighter after use to
avoid any damage to the trim if the lighter
element is still hot.
Power socket
A 12 volt, 10 Amp power socket (B) is situated in
the centre console to provide an electrical supply
for computer and communication equipment.
The pull back cover over the socket should be
replaced when the socket is not in use.
Fire extinguisher (Where fitted)
Depending on the type fitted, the fire
extinguisher may be released either by
unbuckling the wire clip from the inside
outwards, or pulling the extinguisher directly out
of its spring mounted clip.
Taximeter and hire sign(s)
The taximeter may be housed in the roof
console. Operating instructions for the taximeter
are contained in a separate publication. The roof
mounted hire sign, fare payment illumination,
and the hire sign repeater (where fitted) are
controlled by the taximeter.
Fare illumination light
With certain makes and models of taximeter,
when the vehicle is stationary and ‘fare total’ is
selected on the taximeter, several of the interior
lights are illuminated to assist the passenger
and driver in making and collecting payment.
When payment is collected and the taximeter
‘for hire’ position is selected, the lights are
extinguished.
Note: This feature may not function with certain
makes and models of taximeter.
