Dome Lamps
The dome lamps automatically come on when a
door is opened, unless the dome lamp override
button is pressed in.
The lamps can also be turned on by turning the
instrument panel brightness control clockwise
to the farthest position. In this position, the dome
lamps will remain on until they are turned off.
Dome Lamp Override
The dome lamp override button is located next to
the exterior lamps control.
The dome lamp override is used to set the dome
lamps to remain off or come on automatically
when a door is opened.
E(Dome Lamp Override): Press the button in
and the dome lamps remain off when a door
is opened. Press the button again to return it to
the extended position so that the dome lamps
come on when a door is opened.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may have courtesy lamps that will
come on and stay on for a set time whenever the
unlock symbol is pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter, if the vehicle
has 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 the unlock
symbol is pressed and you do not open a door, the
lamps will turn off after about 20 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.
