Illuminated Entry The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy lamps and the backlighting to the driver's door switches and to the ignition key when a door is opened or if you press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter unlock button. The illuminated entry system works with the light sensor and it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after the last door is closed or after the ignition key is turned to RUN or if the RKE transmitter lock button is pressed. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 40 seconds after the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter if no door is opened. Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door is opened and it is dark outside. The rear lamps come on when a rear door is opened. Press the button near the lamps to turn them on and off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off. Battery Load Management The battery load management feature is designed to monitor the vehicle's electrical load and determine when the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads may occur when several of the following are on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, high blower fan, heated seats and engine cooling fans. Parade Dimming This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument panel lights during daylight while the parking lamps are on. This feature works with the light sensor and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside, the instrument panel lights can be adjusted by following the steps under "Instrument Panel Intensity/Brightness Control." Backlighting to the instrument panel will also turn on. 2-49
