Instrument Panel Brightness

The instrument panel lights can be brightened or
dimmed by pressing the center knob of the interior lamp
controls until it pops out. Turn the knob clockwise to
brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them.

Courtesy Lamps

Courtesy lamps come on to make it easier to enter and
exit the vehicle. These lamps will come on when the
interior lamp control is in the door position and any
door is opened.

Entry Lighting

The courtesy lamps come on and stay on for a set
time whenever the interior lamp control is in the door
position and the UNLOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is pressed.
The lamps stay on while a door is opened and then
turn off automatically about 25 seconds after it is closed.
If the UNLOCK button is pressed and a door is not
opened, the lamps will turn off after about 25 seconds.
The courtesy lamps turn off when the ignition key is
turned to ON/RUN or START. They will come on again
when a door is opened.

Delayed Entry Lighting

Delayed entry lighting lights the vehicle's interior for a
period of time after all the doors have been closed.
After all the doors have been closed, the delayed entry
lighting feature will continue to work until one of the
following occurs:
•
The ignition is in ON/RUN.
•
The doors are locked.
•
25 seconds has passed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened,
the timed illumination period will be canceled and the
interior lamps will remain on.

Theater Dimming

This feature allows for a three to five second fade out
of the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off.
