Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Intensity Control
You can brighten or dim
the instrument panel lights
by turning the interior
lamps thumbwheel.
Turn the thumbwheel to the right to increase the
brightness of the instrument panel lights and to the
left to decrease the brightness. Turn the thumbwheel
completely to the left to turn them off.
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 the vehicle at night. You can also turn
these lamps on by turning the interior lamps
thumbwheel completely to the right.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry feature will light the interior of
the vehicle so that you can see the inside of the vehicle
before you enter at night. The interior lamps will come
on for 40 seconds when you unlock the doors using the
remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped) and the
ignition is in LOCK or OFF. After 40 seconds have
elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The
lamps will fade out before 40 seconds have elapsed if
you do the following:
Lock all doors using the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
Lock the doors using the power door lock switch.
When any door is opened, illuminated entry is canceled.
The interior lamps will stay on while any door is opened
and slowly fade out when all doors are closed. The
interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds after all
doors have been closed if they have not been locked.
See “Delayed Illumination” later in this section.
