Entry/Exit Lighting
When you open any door, the lamps inside of your
vehicle will go on. These lamps will fade out
20 seconds after the last door is closed, or when
the ignition is turned on after all doors have
been closed. These lamps will also go on when
you press the trunk release button, the unlock
button or the panic button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
The lamps inside of your vehicle will turn on for
about 10 seconds after your key is removed from
the ignition to provide an illuminated exit.
Parade Dimming
Parade dimming is a separate lighting mode of
operation that is activated if the park lamps are
turned on during the day. Usually when the park
lamps are turned on during the day, the display’s
illumination and LEDs become lower and the
backlighting is activated. To avoid this condition,
backlighting is turned off, and the displays and
LEDs are set to a high predetermined intensity
when daylight conditions are detected to enhance
the display’s visibility during daytime.
Front Reading Lamps
Push the lens to turn the reading lamps on and
off. The reading lamps will turn on when the door
is open if the dome lamp is in the door position.
The reading lamps will also turn on with the dome
lamp switch in the on position. The lamps will
not turn on if the door is open and the dome
lamp is in the off position.
Rear Reading Lamps
The vehicle’s dome lamp may have two reading
lamps. The reading lamps turn on and off by
pushing on the lens.
Trunk Lamp
The trunk lamp comes on when you open your trunk.
Cargo Lamp
If your vehicle is the MAXX model, it has a cargo
lamp. The cargo lamp comes on when the liftgate is
opened. If you want to leave the liftgate open you
can turn off the cargo lamp by pushing on the lens.
