Interior Lamps Override Switch This switch is located in the overhead console switchbank. Illuminated Entry With illuminated entry, the interior of your vehicle is illuminated so you can see inside before you enter your vehicle. The lamps will come on for 40 seconds if you unlock your door using your key or the remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped) and the ignition is in LOCK or OFF. After 40 seconds have passed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The lamps will turn off before the 40 seconds if you: D Lock all the doors using the key, D press LOCK on the power door lock switch, or D press LOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped). Press the symbol on the bottom of the switch to override control of the interior lamps and turn off power to the courtesy lamps, reading lamps, visor vanity lamps (if equipped) and glove box lamp. This feature allows you to have the lamps off when any door is open. Press the top of the interior lamps override switch to turn power back on to the interior lamps. This will allow the lamps to stay on when any door is open. When any door is opened, illuminated entry is cancelled. The interior lamps will stay on while any door or liftgate is open, and slowly fade out when all doors and the liftgate are closed. The interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds after all doors have been closed if they have not been locked. See "Delayed Illumination" next in this section. To turn the exit lighting feature off or on, see "Multifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choices" in the Index. 2-65
