For exiting the vehicle at night, the vehicle is equipped with the delayed exit lighting feature. After the key is removed from the ignition, the interior lamps will light for up the amount of seconds set in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See "Personal Programming Mode Screens" under DIC Controls and Displays . After the set time has elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly fade. The lamps will fade before the set time has elapsed if one of the following is done:

    • The ignition is turned to RUN or ACC.
    • The doors are locked using the remote keyless entry transmitter.
    • The doors are locked using the power door lock switch.

When any door is opened, delayed exit lighting is cancelled. The interior lamps will stay on while any door is opened and will slowly fade out when all the doors are closed. The interior lamps will stay on for the set time after all the doors have been closed if they have not been locked.

To turn the delayed exit lighting feature off or on, see "Personal Programming Mode Screens" under DIC Controls and Displays .
