Entry Lighting
If your vehicle has remote keyless entry, it is equipped
with an entry lighting feature that controls your dome
lamp (and cargo lamp, if equipped). For the dome lamp
to operate as described below, the switch must be in
the middle position:
Your interior lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press the UNLOCK button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
If you open any door, the lamps will stay on while
the door is open, then turn off automatically about
40 seconds after the last door is closed. If you press the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
and don't open a door, the lamps will come on and
then turn off after about 40 seconds.
The lamps will turn off immediately if you turn the
ignition key to ON. When the ignition is on, the entry
lighting feature is inactive. The interior lamps will come
on only if they are turned on by the dome lamp
switch or one of the doors is opened.
When you press the LOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the interior lamps will come on for about
three seconds, and then shut off.
Reading Lamps
Your vehicle's inside rearview mirror may have reading
lamps.
Push the buttons on the bottom of the mirror to turn the
reading lamps on and off.
Cargo Lamp
Some four-door models are equipped with a cargo
lamp. The cargo lamp comes on when any door
is opened, and goes off when all doors are shut.
