lamps will remain on because a door is open.

Parade Dimming

The instrument panel has an added feature called
parade mode. This feature prohibits the dimming of your
instrument panel displays during the daylight while
the headlamps are on so that you'll still be able to see
the displays.

Reading Lamps

Your vehicle may be equipped with reading lamps that
are located on the assist handles in the headliner.
These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps come on
when any door is opened. Press the lens to turn them on
and off.
