Dodge Durango 2015, Operating Information Manual

Page: 101 / 738

The fog lights will operate only when the parking
lights are on or when the vehicle headlights are
on low beam. An indicator light located in the
instrument cluster will illuminate when the fog
lights are on. The fog lights will turn off when the
switch is pushed a second time, when the
headlight switch is rotated to the off position, or
the high beam is selected.
Interior Lights
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when
the front doors are opened or when the dimmer
control (rotating wheel on the right side of the
headlight switch) is rotated to the its farthest
upward position. If your vehicle is equipped with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and the UNLOCK
button is pressed on the RKE transmitter, the
courtesy and dome lights will turn on. When a
door is open and the interior lights are on,
rotating the dimmer control all the way down, to
the OFF detent, will cause all the interior lights
to go out. This is also known as the “Party”
mode because it allows the doors to stay open
for extended periods of time without discharging
the vehicle’s battery.
The brightness of the instrument panel lighting
can be regulated by rotating the dimmer control
up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the head-
lights are on you can supplement the brightness
of the odometer, trip odometer, radio and over-
head console by rotating the control to its
farthest position up until you hear a click. This
feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is
useful when headlights are required during the
day. Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights
are left on after the ignition is turned OFF, a
chime will sound when the driver’s door is
opened.
Battery Saver
To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load
shedding is provided for both the interior and
exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar for
10 minutes or the dimmer control is rotated all
the way up to the dome ON position for 10
minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn
off.
NOTE:
Battery saver mode is cancelled if the igni-
tion is ON.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition is
cycled OFF, the exterior lights will automatically
turn off after eight minutes. If the headlights are
turned on and left on for eight minutes while the
ignition is OFF, the exterior lights will automati-
cally turn off.
