Courtesy Lights
In addition to the ceiling lights, your
Acura has courtesy lights in each
door and the ignition switch.
The door courtesy lights come on
whenever you open any door. After
all doors are closed tightly, they dim
slightly then fade out in about 10
seconds.
Even if the door is open, the lights
will turn off after three minutes
when the key is not in the ignition
switch or the ignition switch is in the
LOCK (0) or ACCESSORY (I)
position, and the light switch is in the
off position.
The door courtesy lights and ceiling
lights (with the switch in the center
position) come on when you unlock
the door with the key, lock tab on
the driver's door, master door lock
switch, or remote transmitter (see
page
82 ). If you relock the driver's
door or close the driver's door with
the key in the ignition switch, the
lights turn off immediately.
Otherwise, they remain on, then fade
out in about 10 seconds.
The door courtesy lights and ceiling
lights (with the switch in the center
position) also come on when you
remove the key from the ignition
switch. If you do not open a door,
they stay on, then fade out in about
10 seconds.
The courtesy light in the ignition
switch comes on when you open the
driver's door. It remains on about 10
seconds after the door is closed.
