The knob for the instrument panel light is located on the exterior lamps control. Pull the knob out halfway and then turn the knob clockwise to brighten or counterclockwise to dim the lights.
When a door is opened, the courtesy lamps automatically come on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also manually turn these lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise all the way to DOME.
The reading lamps, located on the rearview mirror, can be turned on or off independent of the automatic courtesy lamps, when the doors are closed.
Your vehicle may have the entry lighting feature. Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter.
If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open and then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door, the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don't just turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to ON or press the power door lock switch.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened.
Delayed entry lighting illuminates the interior for a period of time after all the doors have been closed.
The ignition must be off for delayed entry lighting to work. Immediately after both doors have been closed, the delayed entry lighting feature will continue to work until one of the following occurs:
• | The ignition is moved to ON, |
• | the doors are locked or |
• | an illumination period of 25 seconds has elapsed. |
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 key is removed from the ignition.
The vehicle's ignition must be off for delayed exit lighting to work.
When the key is removed, interior illumination will activate and remain on until one of the following occurs:
• | The ignition is moved to ON, |
• | the power door locks are activated or |
• | an illumination period of 25 seconds has elapsed. |
If during the illumination period a door is opened, the timed illumination period will be canceled and the interior lamps will remain on.
The instrument panel has an added feature called parade dimming. This feature prohibits the dimming of your instrument panel displays during the daylight while the headlamps are on so that you'll still be able to see the displays.
The reading lamps are located on the rearview mirror. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door is opened. Press the button to turn them on and off while the doors are closed.
The dome lamp will come on when you open a door. You can also turn this lamp on by turning the exterior lamp control clockwise to DOME.
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from draining the battery in case you accidentally leave on the interior courtesy lamps, reading/map lamps, visor vanity lamps, trunk lamp or glove box lamps. If you leave any of these lamps on, they will automatically turn off after 10 minutes, if the ignition is off. The lamps won't come back on again until you do the following:
• | Turn the ignition on or |
• | turn the exterior lamps control off, then on again. |
If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes.
Battery rundown protection will also work if the headlamps are left on. After having been left on for 10 minutes, the headlamps and the parking lamps will flash three times. They will remain on for one more minute before turning off automatically.
