The instrument panel lights can be brightened or dimmed by turning the exterior lamps knob.
Turning the control all the way clockwise turns on the courtesy lamps.
When any door is opened, several courtesy lamps come on to make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle. These lamps can also be turned on by turning the exterior lamps control all the way clockwise to MAX.
The courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The lamps will stay on while a door is opened and then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after it is closed. If the UNLOCK button is pressed and a door is not open, the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature called theater dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps do not turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly dim after the delay time and then turn off.
The courtesy lamps are canceled if the ignition key is turned to RUN or START and will not come on unless a door is opened.
Delayed entry lighting lights the 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. After all the doors have been closed, the delayed entry lighting feature will continue to work until one of the following occurs:
• | The ignition is in RUN. |
• | The doors are locked. |
• | 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.
This feature illuminates the interior for a period of time after the ignition key is removed from the ignition.
The ignition must be off for delayed exit lighting to work. When the ignition key is removed, interior illumination will activate and remain on until one of the following occurs:
• | The ignition is in RUN. |
• | The power door locks are activated. |
• | 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.
The reading lamps are located on the underside of the rearview mirror. Press the button next to each lamp to turn it on and off.
The dome lamp will come on when you open a door.
This helps the vehicle's battery from draining the battery in case the interior courtesy lamps, reading lamps, visor vanity lamps, trunk lamp, underhood lamp or glove box lamps are left on. If any of these lamps are left on while the ignition is off, they will automatically turn off after 20 minutes. The lamps will not come back on again until you do one of the following:
• | Turn the ignition on. |
• | Turn the exterior lamps control off, then on. |
• | Open a door. |
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes.
