Dome Lamps; Battery Run-Down Protection; Reading Lamps - Buick 2004 Rainier Owner's Manual

Entry Lighting
Your vehicle is equipped with entry lighting.
When a door is opened, the dome lamps will come on
if the dome override button is in the "out" position.
When all the doors are closed, the lamps will stay on for
a short period of time and will then turn off automatically.
If you use your keyless entry transmitter to unlock the
vehicle, the interior lights will come on for a short
time whether or not the dome override is on.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
you remove the key from the ignition to help you
see while exiting the vehicle. With the dome override
button in the "out" position, these lights will stay on for
a short period of time and then will go out.

Reading Lamps

Press the lens on the lamp located above the doors
to turn the reading lamps on and off.

Dome Lamps

The dome lamps will come on when you open a door
unless the dome lamp override is pressed in.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by turning the
thumbwheel, located next to the exterior lamps knob,
all the way up to the top detent position. In this position,
the dome lamps will remain on until they are turned off.

Battery Run-Down Protection

This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity,
and reading lamps if they are left on for more than
20 minutes when the ignition is off. This will keep your
battery from running down.
If the battery run-down protection shuts off the interior
lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following
to return to normal operation:
•
Shut off all lamps and close all doors, or
•
turn the ignition key to RUN.
This feature will also turn off the parking lamps and
headlamps under most circumstances, if they are left on.
If you would like to turn them back on, turn the exterior
lamps knob.
