INTERIOR LIGHTS
COURTESY/INTERIOR LIGHTING
The interior lights come on when a door is
opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn
of

f automatically 10 minutes after the ignition is
p l

aced in the OFF position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are
on because a door is open. The battery
protection also includes the glove compartment
light. To restore interior light operation after
automatic battery protection is enabled (lights
off), either place the ignition in the ON/RUN
position or cycle the light switch.
Courtesy Lights

The lights turn on when a front door, a rear door

key fob is pushed. The courtesy lights also
function as reading lights. Push in on each lens
to turn these lights on while inside the vehicle.
Push the lens a second time to turn each light
off. You may adjust the direction of these lights by pushing the outside ring, which is identified
with four directional arrows.

You and your passengers could be injured
by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed
when you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
