Entry Lighting When you open either a front door or a rear door, the lamps inside your vehicle will go on. In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry, the light will come on when the remote keyless entry UNLOCK button is pressed. After you exit the vehicle and all of the doors have been closed, the lamps will stay on for an additional 20 seconds before fading off. The lamps will also fade to off when the key is inserted and turned to RUN or ACCESSORY, or the LOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed. Battery Run-Down Protection Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature designed to protect your vehicle's battery. When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, dome, etc.) is left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system will automatically turn the lamp off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining the battery. This system does not protect against leaving on the headlamps or parking lamps. To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following: Front Reading Lamps If your vehicle has this feature, these lamps are located on the rearview mirror. Turn each one on and off by pressing its button. • Turn the ignition on. • Turn the activated interior lamp off, then on. • Open any door. The battery rundown protection feature will also be activated when any door is left open. Map Lamps If your vehicle has this feature, these lamps are located in front of the dome lamp. To turn the lamps on and off, press the button. 3-15
