Interior Lamps

Brightness Control

Turn the switch next to the headlamp switch up to make
your instrument panel lights brighter. Turn the switch all
the way up to turn on the interior lamps.
Illuminated Entry
Your vehicle is equipped with an illuminated
entry feature.
When the doors are opened, the dome lamps will come
on if the DOME OVERRIDE button is in the "out"
position. When all the doors are closed, or the front door
handles are lifted and released, the lamps will stay on
for a short period of time and will turn off automatically.
If you use your keyless entry transmitter to unlock your
vehicle, the interior lights will come on for a short time
whether or not the DOME OVERRIDE button is in the
"out" position.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
you remove the key from the ignition to help you see
while exiting the vehicle. If the DOME OVERRIDE
button is in the "out" position, these lights will stay on
for a short period of time and then will go out.
Front Reading Lamps (If Equipped)
Press the button near each lamp on the overhead console
to turn the reading lamps on and off. The lamps can be
swiveled to point in the desired direction.
If you have the mini console, press the lens on each
lamp to turn it on or off.
Front Map Lamps (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has optional front map lamps, they are
located on the inside rearview mirror. They will
automatically come on for approximately 40 seconds when
the doors are unlocked with the keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped) or until the ignition key is turned to RUN
or ACCESSORY. The lamps will also stay on for
approximately 40 seconds after you exit the vehicle unless
you lock the doors with the keyless entry transmitter.
You can also turn the lamps on and off by pressing the
switch near each lamp.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open the doors.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by rotating the
thumbwheel, located next to the parking/headlamps
knob, all the way up to the top detent position. In this
position, the dome lamps will remain on whether the
doors are opened or closed.
