Parade Dimming To activate the instrument panel backlighting during the day, turn the headlamp switch to the parking lamp position. Dimming of the instrument panel display is not possible during daylight hours. The instrument panel display can only be adjusted when the parking lamps are on and it is dark outside. Front Reading Lamps Perimeter Lighting When the unlock symbol on the remote lock control transmitter is pressed, the DRL headlamps, parking lamps and back-up lamps will turn on for approximately 25 seconds if it is dark enough outside. This feature can be programmed on or off for each transmitter. You can also program how long the exterior lamps will stay on after unlocking the vehicle. You must program this feature through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See "DIC Personalization Programming" in the Index. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps will come on when you open a door. They will turn off when you turn on the ignition. If a door is left open, they will turn off after about 10 minutes. To turn on the reading lamps when the doors are closed, press the button under the lamp you want on. Press it again to turn the lamp off. These lamps work even when the ignition is off. To avoid draining your vehicle's battery, be sure to turn off all front and rear reading lamps when leaving your vehicle. 2-48
