INTERIOR LAMPS
Dome lamp
The dome lamp is equipped with a
control switch that will illuminate
when:
•the doors are closed and the
switch is in the right position.
•the switch is in the middle
position and any door is open.
When the dome lamp switch is in the left position, it will not illuminate
when you open the doors.
Reading lamps (if equipped)
The reading lamps are operated by
separate on/off controls.
Theater dimming: The dome lamp
dims about 20 seconds after the
doors are closed.
Approach lamps (if equipped)
The approach lamps will turn on and off automatically when you open
and close the doors. If you unlock the doors with the remote control,
they will come on. They will go off automatically after a short time.
BULB REPLACEMENT
Lamp assembly condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
