Interior Lamps

Instrument Panel Brightness Control

You can brighten or dim the instrument panel and cluster

lights by turning the exterior lamp knob. Turn the knob

clockwise to increase the brightness of the instrument

panel and cluster, and counterclockwise to decrease the

brightness. Your parking lamps must be on for this

feature to work.

Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps 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 turning the exterior lamp knob all the

way clockwise.

Some of the lamps have switches so you can turn them

on, even when the doors are closed. These lamps are

reading lamps.

Illuminated Entry (If Equipped)

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

time whenever you press UNLOCK 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 25 seconds after

you close it. If you press UNLOCK and don’t open a

door, the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.

Illuminated entry 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 after the delay time until they go out. The delay

time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to ON or

press the power door lock switch. The lamps will dim

right away.

When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive,

which means the courtesy lamps won’t come on unless

a door is opened.
