that is read by the system in your vehicle. If the key
resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle system,
the vehicle's fuel and starting systems will be enabled. If

Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel
Intensity/Brightness Control
The digital displays automatically dim when it becomes
dark outside and your lights are on. When it's dark, the
brightness control can be manually adjusted by turning
the exterior lamps control knob counterclockwise to dim
and clockwise to brighten the lighting. The digital
displays automatically brighten when it becomes light
outside, although backlighting will remain active at the
selected brightness as long as the lights are on.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door controls and to
the exterior lamps control knob when a door is opened
or if you press a remote keyless entry transmitter button.
Since the illuminated entry system has a photocell, this
means that it must be dark outside in order for the
courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The courtesy
lamps turn off approximately 20 seconds after the last
door is closed or after the ignition is turned to RUN.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the 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, the instrument panel
lights can be adjusted by turning the exterior lamps
control knob counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to
brighten lighting. Backlighting to the instrument panel
will turn on, regardless of light conditions.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located either in the headliner or
above the windows if you have a sunroof. To turn them
on, turn the exterior lamps control knob all the way
clockwise. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps
automatically come on when either door is opened and it
is dark outside. For manual operation, press the button
to turn them on. Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

2-47 Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage
door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the
power to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamps are turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long-term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC) while the ignition is in RUN. Storage mode
personalization protects the battery by placing your
vehicle in a storage mode so that the radio, amplifiers,
instrument panel cluster and remote keyless entry will
not drain the battery over a long period of time. For
programming information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
