Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps will come on.

These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for

you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn

these lamps on by moving the thumbwheel near the

exterior lamps control all the way up.

Some of the lamps have switches so you can turn them

on even when the doors are closed. These lamps are

reading lamps. To avoid draining your battery, be sure to

turn off all the reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.

Sustained Interior Illumination

Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set

time whenever you do one of the following:

Open a door.

Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the remote

keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).

Press the trunk symbol on the remote keyless entry

transmitter (if equipped).

If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open

and then turn off automatically about 18 seconds after

you close it. If you don’t open a door, the lamps will

turn off after about 18 seconds, unless you press

UNLOCK or the trunk symbol on the remote keyless

entry transmitter. If you press UNLOCK or the trunk

symbol and don’t open a door, the lamps will turn off

after about 55 seconds. If you press LOCK on the

remote keyless entry transmitter the lamps will turn off

about 17 seconds after all the doors are closed.

Sustained interior illumination 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 during the delay time until they go out. The

delay time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to

RUN or START, so the lamps will go out right away.

When the ignition is on, sustained interior illumination

is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won’t

come on.
