Illumination
on
Door Handle Activation
Illumination on Door Handle Activation is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by allowing the driver to activate
the
vehicle interior illumination without unlocking
or
opening any vehicle door.
The Illumination on Door Handle Activation feature can
function
in
two ways. The ignition must be off and the
doors locked for the Illumination on Door Handle
Activation to work.
If the driver pulls and releases
any
front door handle
within one second, the interior lamps will illuminate until:
The ignition is turned to
ON,
The power door locks are activated or
An illumination period
of
25
seconds has elapsed.
Or, if the driver pulls and holds any
front
door handle
for more than one second, the interior lamps will
illuminate until:
The ignition is turned to
ON,
0
The door handle is released or
0
An illumination period of
50
seconds has elapsed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be canceled, though the
interior lamps will remain on since the vehicle door
is open.
Delayed Illumination
The Delayed Illumination feature will continue to
illuminate the interior for
25
seconds after all doors have
been closed
so
that you can find
the
ignition and buckle
your seat belt at night. Delayed Illumination will
not
occur while the ignition is in
ON.
After
25
seconds have
elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The
lamps will fade out before
25
seconds have elapsed
if
you:
Turn the ignition to
ON.
Lock all doors using your remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

Lock the doors using the power door lock switch.
If during the Delayed Illumination period a door is
opened, the timed illumination period will be canceled,
though the interior lamps will remain on since the door
is opened.
