instrument panel brightness control clockwise
to the farthest position. In this position, the dome
lamps will remain on until they are turned off.

lamps to remain off or come on automatically
when a door is opened.

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.

The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille in
the middle of the instrument panel, monitors
the solar radiation. Do not cover the solar sensor
or the system will not work properly.The interior temperature sensor located on the
instrument panel to the right of the steering
column, measures the temperature of the air inside
the vehicle.
