Interior
Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You
can brighten or dim the instrument panel lights by
moving the LIGHTS dial.
If
you turn the dial past
MAX, your courtesy or interior lamps will come on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle.
You
can also turn these
lamps
on
by moving the interior lamps dial all the way
to the right.
Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and
stay
on for a set
time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
If
you open
a
door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open
and then turn
off
automatically about
25
seconds after
you
close it.
If
you press UNLOCK and don’t open
a
door, the lamps will turn off after about
40
seconds.
Illuminated Entry includes
a
feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don’t just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay
time
is
canceled
if
you
turn the ignition key
to
RUN
or
START,
so
the lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, Illuminated Entry is inactive,
which means the courtesy lamps won’t come on unless a
door is opened.
Delayed Entry Lighting
Delayed Entry Lighting illuminates your vehicle’s
interior for
a
period
of
time after all the doors have been
closed.
The ignition must be off for Delayed Entry Lighting
to
work. Just after all the doors have been closed, the
Delayed Entry Lighting feature will continue to
work until:
0
The ignition is turned to the
RUN
position.
The doors are locked.
An illumination period
of
25
seconds has elapsed.
If during
the
illumination period
a
door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be canceled and the
interior lamps will remain on since a door is open.
