Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness Control This feature controls the instrument panel lights The control for this feature is located on the exterior lamps control Your parking lamps must be on for this feature to work. Turn the control clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them. Illuminated Entry (If Equipped) Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped). 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 ON or press the power door lock switch. When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened. If the ignition is on, the light will come on only when the driver's door is opened. Courtesy Lamps When a door is opened, the courtesy lamps automatically come on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also manually turn these lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise all the way. The reading lamps, located on the rearview mirror, can be turned on or off independent of the automatic courtesy lamps, when the doors are closed. 2-52
