TORCH
A removable torch, incorporated in the
wall of the boot, carries out two functions:
- boot light,
- torch.
The boot light operates automatically

The torch operates with NiMH type
storage batteries.
Observe the polarities when fi tting
these storage batteries. Using the torch
Remove it from its location by pulling
from the top.
Press the switch, located on the back
of the torch, to switch it on or off.

If it is not engaged correctly it may not
charge and may not come on when the
boot is opened.
Putting the torch back in place

been switched off already.
The torch has a maximum operating
time of 45 minutes and charges within
a few hours while driving.
