Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery,
in case you accidentally leave the
courtesy lamps on. If you leave the dial turned all the
way up, or if you leave
a door open, the lamps will
automatically
turn off after 10 minutes if the ignition
is off.
This feature will not turn off the reading lamps, only
the lamps controlled by the dial. Be sure to turn off
any reading lamps using the switch before you leave
the vehicle.
Sustained Interior Illumination

time whenever you:

If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open
and then turn off automatically about
18 seconds after
you close it.
If you don’t open a door, the lamps will
turn off after about
18 seconds, unless you pressed
UNLOCK on the Remote Lock Control. If you pressed
UNLOCK and don’t open a door, the lamps will turn off
after about
55 seconds.
Sustained interior illumination includes
a feature called
theater dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don’t
just turn off at
the end of the delay time. Instead, they
slowly dim during
the delay time until they go out. The
delay time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to
RUN or START, so the lamps will go out right away.
When
the ignition is on, Sustained Interior Illumination is
inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won’t come on.
