Courtesy Lamps (DeVille Only)
The courtesy lamps are located in the roof in the rear
seat. These lamps come on with the lamp
knob
or when
any door is opened and it is dark outside.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to
the lamp control knob when a door is opened or if you
press a
RISE
transmitter button. Since the illuminated
entry system has
a
photocell, this means that it must be
dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps
or
backlighting to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn
off
approximately
20
seconds after the last door is closed or
after the ignition key is placed in the ignition.
Parade Dimming
This
feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the headlamps are on.
This
feature operates with the light sensor for the
twilight sentinel and is fully automatic. When the light
sensor reads darkness outside, the instrument panel
lights can be adjusted. Backlighting to the instrument
panel will
also
turn
on.
Reading Lamps (DeVille d’Elegance and
DeVille Concours Only)
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
come on when any door is opened and it is dark outside.
Press the button
to
turn them on. Press it again to turn
them
off.
If
the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off
10
minutes after the ignition has been turned
off.
