Interior Lamps

Instrument Panel Brightness

Adjust the instrument panel light brightness by turning
the exterior lamps control.

Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps go on.
They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle.
You can also turn these lamps on by turning the exterior
lamps control clockwise all the way past the normal stop.
Entry Lighting
When you open either front door or press the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the lamps
inside your vehicle will turn on. These lamps will turn off
after about 40 seconds. These lamps will also turn off if
you start the engine or activate the power door locks.

Delayed Entry Lighting

When you open the door, 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 to an on position. Locking the doors with the
power door lock switch will override the delayed entry
lighting feature and the lamps will turn off right away.
Using the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the
door will not cancel delayed lighting.

Theater Dimming

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

Delayed 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 handle or
lock switches.

Parade Dimming

This feature prohibits the dimming of your instrument
panel 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.
