that it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy
lamps or backlighting
to
turn
on.

turn off approximately
20
seconds after the last door is
closed
or
after the ignition key is placed
in
the
ignition.

km)
or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10

use
and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC)
while
the

not
drain the battery over a long period
of
time.
