Chevrolet 2007 IMPALA Automobile User Manual


 
Dome Lamp
The dome lamp will come on when you open a
door. You can also turn this lamp on by turning the
instrument panel brightness control clockwise.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may have courtesy lamps that will
come on and stay on for a set time whenever
UNLOCK is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, if you have one.
If a door is opened, the lamps will stay on while it
is open and then turn off automatically about
25 seconds after the door is closed. If UNLOCK is
pressed and you do not open a door, the lamps
will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps do not
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 ON or press the power door
lock switch. The lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is
inactive, which means the courtesy lamps will not
come on unless a door is opened.
Delayed Entry Lighting
Delayed entry lighting illuminates the interior for a
period of time after all the doors have been closed.
The ignition must be off for delayed entry lighting
to work. Immediately after all the doors have been
closed, the delayed entry lighting feature will
continue to work until one of the following occurs:
The ignition is in RUN.
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 because a
door is open.
