Interior Lights; Lights-On Reminder - Dodge DURANGO 2017 Owner's Manual

Interior Lights

Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or when the dimmer control (rotating
wheel on the right side of the headlight switch) is rotated
to its farthest upward position. If your vehicle is equipped
with a key fob and the unlock button is pushed, the
courtesy and dome lights will turn on. When a door is open
and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer control
all the way down, to the (O) off detent, will cause all the
interior lights to go out. This is also known as the "Party"
mode because it allows the doors to stay open for extended
periods of time without discharging the vehicle's battery.
The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be
regulated by rotating the dimmer control up (brighter) or
down (dimmer). When the headlights are on you can
supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odometer,
radio and overhead console by rotating the control to its
farthest position up until you hear a click. This feature is
termed the "Parade" mode and is useful when headlights
are required during the day.
