With the control at AUTO and the front door opened,
the overhead console light, front hush panel lamps and
rear footwell lamps in the door will automatically come
on. When the rear door is opened, all the front door
lighting and rear overhead lamps will come on.
When the control is at ON, the courtesy lamps are
turned on. At OFF, the lamps are turned off. (All
automatic interior lighting functions are terminated.)
When the interior lamp control is at OFF, only the
driver's door controls and ignition switch backlighting
functions will operate.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the driver's door switches
and to the ignition key when a door is opened or if you
press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
unlock button. The illuminated entry system works with
the light sensor and it must be dark outside in order for
the courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The
courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after
the last door is closed or after the ignition key is turned
to RUN or if the RKE transmitter lock button is pressed.
The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 40 seconds
after the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter if
no door is opened.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the parking lamps are
on. This feature works with the light sensor and is fully
automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside,
the instrument panel lights can be adjusted by following
the steps under ªInstrument Panel Intensity/Brightness
Control.º Backlighting to the instrument panel will also
turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door
is opened and it is dark outside. The rear lamps come on
when a rear door is opened. Press the button near the
lamps to turn them on and off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
