cupholder and doors ) with a choice
of several colors. The ambient
lighting control switch is located in
the overhead console.
• To activate, rotate the control
knob past the first detent and
adjust to the desired brightness.
• Use the left color pallet control
switch to cycle through the color
choices.
• Use the right search mode control switch to activate all ambient light
areas and all dome lamps.
The lights come on whenever the ignition is in the on position and the
headlamps are on.
Note: The ambient lights will stay on until the ignition is placed in the
off position and the vehicle is locked or the accessory delay timer
expires.

Lamp assembly condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
• Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets)
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water
leak) are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp
• Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens
