2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue lock

2-44 Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a
set time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).
If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you
close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door,
the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry 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 after the delay time until they go out.
The delay time is cancelled if you turn the ignition
key to ON so that the lamps will dim out right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive,
which means the courtesy lamps won't come on unless
a door is opened.
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 one of the following occurs:

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 one of the following occurs:

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 because a vehicle door
is open.

2-45 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 do one of the following:

Turn the ignition to ON.

Lock all doors using your remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

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 because a door
is open.
Exit Illumination
To see better when exiting your vehicle at night, your
vehicle is equipped with an exit illumination feature.
The interior lamps will illuminate for up to 25 seconds
when you remove your key from the ignition. After
25 seconds have elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly
fade out. The lamps will fade out before the 25 seconds
have elapsed if you do one of the following:

Turn the ignition to ON.

Lock all doors using your remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

Lock the doors using the power door lock switch.
When any door is opened, exit illumination is cancelled.
The interior lamps will stay on when any door is open.
The interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds
after all the doors have been closed if they have not
been locked. See ªDelayed Illuminationº in the Index.

If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. See ªTowing Your Vehicleº in
the Index.
CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you've
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake.
The light will stay on if your parking brake doesn't
release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake
is fully released, it means you have a brake problem.

longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you're driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you're driving, your vehicle needs service. If the

isn't on, you still have brakes, but you don't have
anti
-lock brakes. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The anti
