Courtesy Lamps When either door is opened, several interior lamps go on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easier for you to enter and leave your vehicle. Courtesy lamps include two map lamps on the inside rearview mirror and other lamps throughout the interior of your vehicle. To prevent battery rundown, your interior lamps will be disabled for about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF. The 10-minute timer will be restarted if you do any of the following: Delayed Illumination With delayed illumination, the courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for 25 seconds after you enter the vehicle and close the doors. They will also stay on for five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close the doors. Delayed illumination will be shortened if the ignition is turned to RUN or if the power locks are activated. To turn this feature on or off, see "Feature Customization" in the Index.
