has been placed in the OFF position.
Overhead Light Timing
On certain models, to assist getting in and out
of the vehicle at night or in poorly-lit areas, two
timed modes have been provided.
Timing While Getting Into The Vehicle — The
overhead lights turn on according to the
following modes:
Will illuminate for a few seconds when the
doors are unlocked.

minutes when one of the doors is opened.

placed in the ON/RUN position.
Three Modes Are Available For Turning Off
Overhead Lighting:
When all doors are closed after entering the
vehicle, the three-minute timer will stop and
a seconds timer will start for the interior
lights. This timing will stop when the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN position.
When doors are locked (either with key fob
or with key inserted on driver side door), the
overhead light turns off.
The interior lights will turn off after
15 minutes to preserve the battery.
