ILLUMINATED ENTRY
DESCRIPTION
The Illuminated Entry System is available on vehi-
cles equipped with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system. The Illuminated Entry System turns ON the
courtesy lamps when the remote keyless entry sys-
tem is activated.

OPERATION

The Remote Keyless Entry Module and the Body
Control Module (BCM) are used to control the sys-
tem. Courtesy lamps will turn on for 30 seconds and
"fade-to-OFF" over a five second period.
The Illuminated Entry System also turns ON the
courtesy lamps when a door is opened. The courtesy
lamps will remain ON while the door is open, then
"fade-to-OFF" 30 seconds after the last door is closed.
The courtesy lamps will "fade-to-OFF" immediately
when the ignition is switched to ON.
The Illuminated Entry System cannot be activated
during the 30 second period after the ignition switch
is turned OFF except by using the RKE transmitter.
If a door is opened and closed during this 30 second
period, the system will function as previously
described.
The courtesy lamps will "fade-to-OFF" immediately
if the RKE lock function is actuated with all the
doors closed.
