15 seconds.
[IP15900(ALL)03/95]
The rear dome lamp also illuminates when the liftgate is opened
and goes off when it is closed. However, the rear dome lamp
will not remain lit in the ON position unless the ignition switch
is in the ON position. This feature is intended to help avoid a
run-down battery which can occur when a light is left on
unintentionally.

remain illuminated, they will eventually turn off automatically
to prevent the battery from becoming discharged. Lamps that
illuminate when the front doors and the sliding door are open
will turn off after approximately 30 minutes. Lamps that are
illuminated when the liftgate is open will turn off after
approximately 60 minutes.
