Cornering Lamps The cornering lamps are designed to come on when you signal a turn. This will provide more light for cornering at night. Illuminated Entry Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter. If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open and then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door, the lamps will turn off after about 40 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 after the delay time until they go out. The delay time is canceled if you turn the ignition key to RUN or START, so the lamps will dim right away. When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened. Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness Control You can brighten or dim the instrument panel lights by moving the LIGHTS dial. If you turn the dial past MAX, your courtesy or interior lamps will come on. Courtesy Lamps When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these lamps on by twisting or turning the interior lights knob all the way to the right. 2-46
