Fog Lamps
Your vehicle may be equipped with fog lamps. Use your
fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your parking lamps or headlamps must be on for
your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is located on the instrument panel
near the lamp control.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press the
button again to turn them off. A light will glow in
the button when the fog lamps are on.
Fog lamps will go off whenever your high-beam
headlamps come on. When the high-beams go off, the
fog lamps will come on again.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
It is located on the driver's side of your instrument panel
next to the exterior lamps control.
Turn the thumbwheel up to make your instrument panel
lights brighter or down to dim them. Turn the
thumbwheel all the way up to turn on the interior lamps.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle is equipped with an entry lighting feature.
When any door is opened, the dome lamps will
come on if the DOME OVERRIDE button is in the out
position. If your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless
entry and all the doors are closed, or the front door
handles are lifted and released, the lamps will stay on
for a short period of time and will turn off automatically. If
you use your remote keyless entry transmitter to
unlock the vehicle, the interior lights will come on for a
short time whether or not the DOME OVERRIDE
button is in the out position.

Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
you remove the key from the ignition to help you
see while exiting the vehicle. These lights will stay on
for a short period of time and then will go out, if the
DOME OVERRIDE button is in the out position.
Front Map Lamps
If your vehicle is a Crew Cabžand has front map
lamps, they are located in the overhead console. For all
other vehicles that have this feature, they are located
on the inside rearview mirror. The front map lights
that are located on the inside rearview mirror will
automatically come on for approximately 40 seconds
when the doors are unlocked with the remote keyless
entry transmitter (if equipped) or until the ignition key is
turned to RUN or ACCESSORY. The lamps will also
stay on for approximately 40 seconds after you exit the
vehicle, unless you lock the doors with the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
You can also turn the lamps on and off by pressing the
switch near each lamp.
Dome Lamp
The dome lamp will come on when you open any door.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by turning the
instrument panel brightness thumbwheel, located next to
the exterior lamps control, all the way up to the
second notch. In this position, the dome lamps will
remain on whether a door is opened or closed.
You can use the DOME OVERRIDE button, located
below the exterior lamps control, to set the dome lamps
to come on automatically when any door is opened,
or to remain off. To turn the lamps off, press the button
in. With the button in, the dome lamps will remain off
when any door is opened. To return the lamps to
automatic operation, press the button again and return it
to the out position. With the button in this position, the
dome lamps will come on when you open any door. This
