Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are left on
after the ignition is turned off, a chime will sound when the
driver ’s door is opened.
Battery Saver
To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load shedding
is provided for both the interior and exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar for 10
minutes, or the dimmer control is rotated all the way up to
the “dome on” position for 10 minutes, the interior lights
will automatically turn off.
NOTE:
Battery saver mode is cancelled if the ignition is ON.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition is cycled OFF,
the exterior lights will automatically turn off after eight
minutes. If the headlights are turned on and left on for
eight minutes while the ignition is OFF, the exterior lights
will automatically turn off.
Interior Lights
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened, when the dimmer control (rotating
wheel on the bottom of the switch) is rotated to the far right
detent position. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote
Keyless Entry, and the unlock button is pushed on the key
fob, the courtesy and dome lights will turn on. When a
door is open, and the interior lights are on, rotating the
dimmer control all the way left, to the off detent, will cause
all the interior lights to go out. This is also known as the
Partymode because it allows the doors to stay open for
extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle’s
battery.
The brightness of the instrument panel as well as the
ambient lighting can be regulated by rotating the dimmer
control right (brighter) or left (dimmer). When the head-
lights are on you can supplement the brightness of the
odometer, trip odometer, radio and overhead console by
rotating the control to the right until you hear a click. This
feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when
headlights are required during the day.
