Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Intensity/Brightness Control The displays automatically dim when it becomes dark outside and your lights are on. The displays automatically brighten when it becomes light outside. Backlighting will only remain active as long as the parking lamps are on and it is dark outside. The brightness of the backlighting can be adjusted by using the instrument panel brightness control. The button is located to the right of the Twilight Sentinel control. Push the button in to release it to the outward position. Courtesy Lamps The courtesy lamps are located on the headliner above the rear seat. These lamps come on by turning the instrument panel brightness control fully clockwise or when any door is opened and it is dark outside. Puddle lamps are located on the bottom of the front and rear door trim. Illuminated Entry The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to the lamp control knob when a door is opened or if you press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button. If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting will remain active for about 40 seconds. Since the illuminated entry system uses the light sensor, it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if the ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately deactivate if the power locks are activated. Turn the button counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to brighten the lighting. Push the button in to return it to the original storage position. 2-55
