If the exterior lamps control has been left on, the
exterior lamps will turn
off approximately 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned to
OFF and any door
has been opened. This protects against draining the
battery in case you have accidentally left the headlamps
or parking lamps on. If you need to leave the lamps
on for more than
10 minutes, use the exterior lamps
control to turn the lamps back on after the ignition has
been turned to
OFF and any door has been opened.

on. The lower instrument panel courtesy lamps will not
fade out.

after you remove the key from the ignition while the
doors are closed and it is night. This will give you time
to find the door handle or lock switches as you exit

off by the theater dimming system. The lamps will turn
off immediately by pressing the lock symbol on the

key to ON or by activating the power door locks. To activate the instrument panel backlighting during the
