The instrument panel lights can be brightened or dimmed by turning the exterior lamp knob. Turning the knob all the way clockwise turns on the courtesy lamps.

When any door is opened, several courtesy lamps come on to make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle. These lamps can also be turned on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise to MAX.

The courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set time whenever the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed.

The lamps will stay on while a door is opened and then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after it is closed. If the UNLOCK button is pressed and a door is not opened, the lamps will turn off after about 40 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 and then turn off.

The courtesy lamps turn off when the ignition key is turned to RUN or START. They will come on again when a door is opened.

Delayed entry lighting lights the vehicle's interior for a period of time after all the doors have been closed.

After all the doors have been closed, the delayed entry lighting feature will continue to work until one of the following occurs:

If during the illumination period a door is opened, the timed illumination period will be canceled and the interior lamps will remain on.

This feature illuminates the interior for a period of time after the ignition key is removed from the ignition.

The ignition must be off for delayed exit lighting to work. When the ignition key is removed, interior illumination will activate and remain on until one of the following occurs:

If during the illumination period a door is opened, the timed illumination period will be canceled and the interior lamps will remain on.

Perimeter lighting provides a period of exterior vehicle lighting. Perimeter lighting activates when the doors are closed, the ignition is in OFF and the security feedback feature is activated in Mode 3 or 4. See "Security Feedback" under Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation for more information. The vehicle headlamps and back-up lamps are then activated for a period of 25 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to RUN. Perimeter lighting can be turned on or off when the driver performs the following sequence with the engine off and the doors closed:

1. Turn the ignition to RUN.
2. Close all the doors.
3. Apply the brake.
4. Press and hold the LOCK position on the power door lock switch while pressing and releasing the remote alarm button on the remote keyless entry transmitter.

This activates the customization mode. While in the customization mode, the number of chimes corresponding to the current mode will sound. One chime means the feature is turned off. Two chimes mean that the perimeter lighting feature is turned on. Each additional press of the power door lock switch will advance to the next mode. Release the LOCK position on the power door lock switch to set the mode.

Disconnecting the vehicle's battery for up to a year will not change the programmed operation for this feature.

The reading lamps are located on the underside of the rearview mirror. Press the button next to each lamp to turn it on and off.

The dome lamp will come on when you open a door.

This helps prevent the vehicle's battery from draining in case the interior courtesy lamps, reading lamps, trunk lamp, underhood lamp, glove box lamps, or sun visor vanity lamps, if equipped, are accidently left on. If any of these lamps are left on while the ignition is in OFF, they will automatically turn off after 20 minutes. The lamps will not come back on again until one of the following occurs:

If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes.
