2-40 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 ignition must be off and the doors locked for the
Illumination on Door Handle Activation to work. The
Illumination on Door Handle Activation feature can
function in two ways.
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,

The door handle is released or

An illumination period of 50 seconds has elapsed.If during the illumination period a door is opened, the
timed illumination period will be cancelled, 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 (optional).

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 cancelled,
though the interior lamps will remain on since the door
is opened.

Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might
keep a safety belt system from doing its job, have it
repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see ªWiper Blades,
Cleaningº in the Index.

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. (See ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº
in the Index.)Automatic Transaxle Check
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
ªAutomatic Transaxle Fluidº in the Index. A fluid loss

if needed.
