      • When the map light door switch is on and all the doors are locked, pressing the unlock switch causes the dome light (map light and No. 1 room light) illumination to turn on and all the doors to unlock simultaneously.
      • If the doors have not been opened, the dome light (map light and No. 1 room light) turns off in approximately 15 seconds.
      Door ajar warning function If any door is open or ajar, pressing the lock switch causes the wireless door lock buzzer to sound for approximately 5 seconds.
