Courtesy Lamps
When either door is opened, several interior lamps
go on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it
easier for you to enter and leave your vehicle.
Courtesy lamps include two map lamps on the inside
rearview mirror and other lamps throughout the interior
of your vehicle.
To prevent battery rundown, your interior lamps will be
disabled for about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned
to OFF. The 10
-
minute timer will be restarted if you do
any of the following:
D Turn the ignition on.
D Open either door.
D Press any button on your remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
D Turn the interior lamps from off to on.
D Open the hatch.
Delayed Illumination
With delayed illumination, the courtesy lamps will
come on and stay on for 25 seconds after you enter
the vehicle and close the doors. They will also stay on
for five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close the
doors. Delayed illumination will be shortened if the
ignition is turned to RUN or if the power locks are
activated. To turn this feature on or off, see “Feature
Customization” in the Index.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
you remove the key from the ignition to help you see
while exiting the vehicle. To turn this feature on or off,
see “Feature Customization” in the Index.
Front Map Lamps
Your inside rearview mirror includes two map lamps.
Each lamp has its own switch. Use the switch closest
to the lamp to turn it on. The lamps will also come on
when a door is opened.
