Interior Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy fo_r you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by moving the dial near the headlamp knob all
the way up to INT.
Some of the lamps have switches
so you can turn them
on, even when the doors are closed. These lamps are
reading lamps: To avoid draining your battery, be sure to
turn
off all reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.
Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the
courtesy lamps on.
If you leave the dial turned all the
way up to
INT, or if you leave a door open, the lamps
will automatically turn
off after 10 minutes if the
ignition is
off.
This feature will not turn off the reading lamps, only .the
lamps controlled by the dial. Be sure to
turn off ‘my reading
lamps using
the switch before you leave the vehicle.
Illuminated Entry

time whenever you:

I and then turn off automatically about 18 seconds after 1
you close it. If you don’t open a door, the lamps will ’
turn off after about 18 seconds, unless you pressed
UNLOCK on the Remote Lock Control.
If you pressed
UNLOCK and don’t open a door, the lamps will turn off
after about
55 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don’t just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim during the delay time until they go out. The delay
time is cancelled
if you turn the ignition key to RUN or
START,
so the lamps will go out right away.
When the ignition is on, Illuminated Entry is inactive,
