Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may have courtesy lamps that will
come on and stay on for a set time whenever
the unlock symbol is pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter, if the vehicle
has one.
If a door is opened, the lamps will stay on while
it is open and then turn off automatically about
25 seconds after the door is closed. If the
unlock symbol is pressed and you do not
open a door, the lamps will turn off after about
20 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps do not
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 canceled if you turn the
ignition key to ON or press the power door
lock switch. The lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is
inactive, which means the courtesy lamps will
not come on unless a door is opened.
Delayed Entry Lighting
Delayed entry lighting illuminates the interior for
a period of time after all the doors have been
closed.
The ignition must be off for delayed entry lighting
to work. Immediately after all the doors have
been closed, the delayed entry lighting feature
will continue to work until one of the following
occurs:
The ignition is in ON.
The doors are locked.
An illumination period of 25 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened,
the timed illumination period will be canceled
and the interior lamps will remain on because a
door is open.

status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the
symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a
system check. If you use remote start to start your
vehicle from a distance, if your vehicle has this
feature, you may not see the system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or either the on
or off symbol to let you know the status of the
right front passenger’s frontal and seat-mounted
side impact airbags.
