Entry Lighting

If the dome lamp is in the DOOR position, the lamps inside your vehicle will come on when any door is opened. In addition, the light will come on when the remote keyless entry unlock button is pressed. It will stay on for 20 seconds or until a door is opened. After the door is opened the light will remain on and stay on for 20 seconds after the doors are closed, or until you put the key in the ignition and turn the key to RUN. The light will then gradually dim until it is no longer lit.

Dome Lamp

The dome lamp switch has three positions.

ON: The lamp will stay on as long as the switch is in this position.

DOOR: The lamp will come on when a door is opened. See "Entry Lighting" for more information.

OFF: The lamp will not come on as long as the switch is in this position.

Map Lamps

These lamps are located on the headliner above the rearview mirror. To turn the lamps on, press the lens. Press the lens again to turn them off.

Battery Run-Down Protection

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature designed to protect your vehicle's battery.

When any interior lamp is left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system will automatically turn the lamp off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining the battery.
