Buick Lucerne Owner Manual - 2011

Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps turn on
making it easier for you to enter and exit the vehicle.
Turn the instrument panel brightness control completely
clockwise to manually turn on these lamps.

Entry Lighting

If it is dark enough outside when you press the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
interior courtesy lamps will turn on and stay on for about
40 seconds. The lamps can be turned off immediately
by pressing the lock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, turning the ignition key to ON/RUN or
activating the power door locks.

Delayed Entry Lighting

The interior lamps will turn on if you open the door
when it is dark enough outside. When you close the
door with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on
for up to 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned to an
on position. When the lamps turn off as a result of the
25 second timer or the ignition switch being turned
on, the lighting will deactivate by way of the theater
dimming effect. Locking the doors will override the
delayed entry lighting feature and the lamps will turn off
right away.

Theater Dimming

This feature allows for a three to five second fade out of
the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off.

Delayed Exit Lighting

If it is dark enough outside when you remove the key
from the ignition, the interior lamps will turn on and
stay on for about 25 seconds. This will give you time
to find the door pull handle or lock switches. Once the
key is inserted into the ignition, the exit lighting will be
cancelled and the lighting will fade out.

Perimeter Lighting

If it is dark enough outside when the unlock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the
DRL, parking lamps and back-up lamps will come on.

This feature can be programmed on for various
amounts of time in seconds for each transmitter.

See DIC Vehicle Customization on page 4‑58 for
information on programming.

Front Reading Lamps

The front reading lamps are located on the headliner.
Press the button near each lamp to turn them on or off.
