Operation

Engine compartment Illumination
When light switch 10 is turned to position 1 (parking lights) or position 2 (headlamps), lamp 87 for engine compartment illumination will be supplied via fuse 29. When the bonnet is opened, the switch will close and the lamp will light up.

Luggage compartment Illumination
The supply to luggage compartment lamp 55 is taken from fuse 16 and then on to switch 56. When the luggage compartment lid is opened, the switch will close the circuit to earth and the lamp will light up.

The luggage compartment illumination can be switched off manually by means of the switch in the lamp fitting.

Switch 56 is of mercury type and closes the circuit by the liquid mercury in the switch bridging the gap between the terminals.
