Courtesy Lamps
When a door is open, the courtesy lamps will
automatically come on. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave the vehicle at night. You can also turn
these lamps on by manually turning the interior lamps
thumbwheel all the way to the right.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry feature will light the interior of
the vehicle so that you can see the inside of the vehicle
before you enter at night. The interior lamps will come
on for 40 seconds when you unlock the doors using the
remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped) and the
ignition is in LOCK or OFF. After 40 seconds have
elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The
lamps will fade out before 40 seconds have elapsed if
you do the following:
D Lock all doors using the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
D Lock the doors using the power door lock switch.
When any door is opened, illuminated entry is canceled.
The interior lamps will stay on while any door is opened
and slowly fade out when all doors are closed. The
interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds after all
doors have been closed if they have not been locked.
See “Delayed Illumination” later in this section.
Delayed Illumination
The delayed illumination feature will continue to light
the interior of the vehicle for 25 seconds after all the
doors have been closed so that you can find the ignition
and buckle the seat belt at night. Delayed illumination
will not occur while the ignition is in RUN or
ACCESSORY. After 25 seconds have elapsed, the
interior lamps will slowly fade out. The lamps will fade
out before the 25 seconds have elapsed if you do any of
the following:
D Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY.
D Lock all doors using the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
