This feature controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column.
Turn the thumbwheel up to brighten the lights or down to dim them. Turn the thumbwheel up all the way to turn on the interior courtesy lamps.
When you open either a front door or a rear door, the lamps inside your vehicle will go on. In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry, the light will come on when the remote keyless entry UNLOCK button is pressed.
After you exit the vehicle and all of the doors have been closed, the lamps will stay on for an additional 20 seconds before fading off. The lamps will also fade to off when the key is inserted and turned to RUN or ACCESSORY, or the LOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed.
If your vehicle has this feature, these lamps are located on the rearview mirror. Turn each one on and off by pressing its button.
If your vehicle has this feature, these lamps are located in front of the dome lamp. To turn the lamps on, press the button. Press the button again to turn them off.
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature designed to protect your vehicle's battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, dome, etc.) 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. This system does not protect against leaving on the headlamps or parking lamps.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following:
• | The ignition must be turned on, or |
• | the activated interior lamp must be turned off, then on, or |
• | any door must be opened. |
The battery rundown protection feature will also be activated when any door is left open.
