Courtesy Lamps
Entry Lighting
If
it is dark enough outside and the front reading lamp
slider lever, located on the overhead console, is in
the DOOR position, when any door is opened all of the
vehicles courtesy lamps will come on. See “Front
Reading Lamps” and “Rear Reading Lamps” later in this
section for more information. They make it easier for
you to enter and leave the vehicle. The courtesy lamps
will remain on for about
25
seconds after all doors
have been closed. They will then theater dim to
off.
Move the front reading lamp slider lever to
ON
to turn
on the interior courtesy lamps. When the control is
moved back to either
OFF
or DOOR, the courtesy lamps
will immediately turn
off.
If the control is OFF when the doors are opened, only
the lower instrument panel courtesy lamps will come on.
Also,
if
the control is OFF when illuminated entry or
delayed exit lighting are active, only the lower instrument
panel courtesy lamps will be on.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lamps will turn
off after
10
minutes to save your battery.
If it is dark enough outside and you press the unlock
symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter while all
doors are closed, the interior courtesy lamps will
come on and stay on for approximately
40
seconds.
When the
40
seconds are up, the lights will automatically
fade until they turn
off.
The lamps will turn off
immediately by pressing the lock symbol on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, by turning the ignition key
to
ON
or by activating the power door locks.
Delayed Entry Lighting
When you open the door to enter your vehicle, the
interior lamps will come on
if
it is dark enough outside.
When you close the door with the ignition
off,
the
interior lamps will stay on for
25
seconds. When the
25
seconds are up the lights will automatically fade until
they turn
off.
Locking the doors with the power door
lock switch or with the lock symbol on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, will override the delayed entry
lighting and the lamps will turn
off
immediately.
