Time Out Feature
Theater Dimming
The interior lamps will automatically shut off after 10
minutes if a door is left open. This feature is designed to
help eliminate battery wear down.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They
make it easy for you to enter and leave the car. To turn
on these lamps, rotate the INTERIOR LIGHTS knob all
the way to HI.
Delayed Illumination
When you open the door to enter your vehicle, the interior
lamps will come on. When you close the door with the
ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on for 25 seconds
or until the ignition is turned on. Please note that locking
the doors will override the delayed illumination feature
and the lights will turn off right away.
This feature allows for a three to five-second fade out of
the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off. They
will not fade if the interior lights switch is used.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of your instrument
displays during daylight while your headlamps are on.
This feature operates with the light sensor for the
twilight sentinel and is fully automatic. When the light
sensor reads darkness outside, you will be able to dim
your instrument panel displays once again.
Exit Lighting
With this feature, the interior lamps will come on for
25 seconds after you remove the key from the ignition.
This will give you time to find the door pull handle or
lock switches when you exit the vehicle.
