cycled to ON mode.
Three Modes Are Available For Turning
Off Overhead Lighting:
When all doors are closed after
entering the vehicle, the three-minute
timer will stop and a seconds timer will
start for the interior lights. This timing
will stop when the ignition is cycled to ON
mode.
When doors are locked (either with key
fob or with key inserted on driver side
door), the overhead light turns off.
The interior lights will turn off after
15 minutes to preserve the battery.
Timing While Getting Out Of The
