Courtesy Lamps
If it is dark enough outside, when any door is opened,
several lamps go on. They make it easy for you to enter
and leave the vehicle. You can also turn these lamps
on by sliding the INTERIOR lever all the way to the top.
Entry Lighting
If it is dark enough outside when you press the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
interior courtesy lamps will turn on and stay on
for approximately 40 seconds. The lamps will turn off
immediately by pressing the lock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, turning the ignition key to
RUN or activating the power door locks.
Delayed Entry Lighting
If it is dark enough outside when you open the door, the
interior lamps will turn on. When you close the door
with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on for up
to 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned to an on
position. When the lamps turn off as a result of
the 25 second timer or the ignition switch being turned
on, the lighting will deactivate via the theater dimming
effect. Locking the doors will override the delayed entry
lighting feature and the lamps will turn off right away.
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
If it is dark enough outside when you remove the key
from the ignition, the interior lamps will turn on and stay
on for approximately 25 seconds. This will give you
time to find the door pull handle or lock switches. Once
the key is inserted into the ignition the exit lighting
will be cancelled and the lighting will fade out.
Perimeter Lighting
If it is dark enough outside when the unlock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the
DRL, parking lamps and back-up lamps will come on.
Personal Choice Programming
This feature can be programmed in the on or off mode
for each transmitter.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information
Center (DIC), you must use it to program this feature.
See
Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-45.
To turn the feature off, do the following:
1. Close all the doors and turn the ignition on. Keep
all doors closed throughout this procedure.
2. Press and hold LOCK on the power door lock
switch throughout this procedure. All the doors
will lock.
3. Press the instant alarm on the transmitter. Perimeter
lighting remains on at this time and the horn will
chirp two times.
