yellowblue Twilight Sentinel will keep your headlamps on for up to three minutes, to light your way when you leave your vehicle. To operate Twilight Sentinel, turn the control to MAX for the three minute delay. Turn it the other way to reduce the delay. Turn the control to OFF to turn twilight sentinel off. Also, it's possible that your headlamps may go out if you drive from a dark area into a bright area like a lighted parking lot. If this happens, turn on your headlamps with the regular headlamp switch. Illuminated Entry System (If Equipped) When you lift the handle of either front door or press the UNLOCK button on the optional remote lock control transmitter, lamps inside your vehicle will turn on. These lamps will turn off after about one minute. These lamps will also turn off if you start the engine or activate the power locks. If a door is left ajar, your interior lamps will turn off after 10 minutes to save your battery. Delayed Illumination When you open the door, the interior lamps will come on. When you close the door with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on for 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned to an on position. Please note that locking the doors with the power door lock switch will override the delayed illumination feature and the lamps will turn off right away. Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Intensity Control You can brighten or dim your instrument cluster, radio, climate control and interior lamps by rotating the INTERIOR control dial when your lamps are on. Turn the control dial all the way to the right and you will turn on the interior courtesy lamps. Theater Dimming This feature allows for a three to five-second fade out of the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off. Courtesy Lamps When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave the car. To turn on these lamps, rotate the INTERIOR control dial all the way to the right. 2-43
