Illuminated Entry - Oldsmobile 2002 Intrigue Owner's Manual

Illuminated Entry

Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).
If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you
close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door,
the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don't just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay
time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to ON
so that the lamps will dim out right away. When the
ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive, which
means the courtesy lamps won't come on unless
a door is opened.
Illumination on Door Handle Activation
Illumination on door handle activation is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by allowing the driver to activate the
vehicle interior illumination without unlocking or
opening any vehicle door.

The ignition must be off and the doors locked for the
illumination on door handle activation to work. The
illumination on door handle activation feature can
function in two ways.
If the driver pulls and releases any front door handle
within one second, the interior lamps will illuminate
until one of the following occurs:
D
The ignition is turned to ON,
D
the power door locks are activated or
D
an illumination period of 25 seconds has elapsed.
Or, if the driver pulls and holds any front door handle
for more than one second, the interior lamps will
illuminate until one of the following occurs:
D
The ignition is turned to ON,
D
the door handle is released or
D
an illumination period of 50 seconds has elapsed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened,
the timed illumination period will be cancelled, though
the interior lamps will remain on because a vehicle door
is open.
