The dome lamp switch positions
[CF17400(ALL)01/96]
Either dome lamp will stay illuminated if the switch is pushed
to the ON position. The dome lamps will stay off if the switch
is pushed to the OFF position. When the switch is positioned to
the door/middle position, the dome lamps will come on when
either of the front doors or the sliding door is opened. The front
dome lamp, footwell lamps, and the sliding door step lamp
have a time delay feature and will gradually dim within about
15 seconds.
[CF17500(ALL)01/96]
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.
[CF17600(ALL)01/96]
If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and the interior lamps
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.
