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
in
RUN.
0
The doors are locked.
0
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.
