Light Control Switch
On EX and SC models
The light control switch has three
positions: OFF, Door Activated, and
ON.
When the switch is in the OFF
position:
● The individual map lights can be
turned on and off by pressing the
lenses.
● The ceiling light cannot be turned
on.
When the switch is in the door
activated position:
● The individual map lights come on
when any door is opened, or when
the remote transmitter is used to
unlock the doors (see page 77).
When the doors are closed, each
light can be turned on and off by
pushing the lens.
After all doors are closed tightly, the
lights dim slightly, then fade out in
about 30 seconds.
With any door left open, the lights stay
on about 3 minutes, then go out.
The lights also come on when the key
is removed from the ignition switch.
When the light control switch is in the
ON position:
● All the individual map lights and
ceiling light come on and stay on as
long as the switch remains in the ON
position.
