Courtesy Lights When any door is opened, several lights go on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave the car. You also can turn these lights on by sliding the panel lights lever to INT (interior). Time Out Feature The interior lights will automatically shut off after a 10 minute period if a door is left open. This feature is designed to help eliminate battery wear down. If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for three minutes after you turn off your engine. If you move the control almost all the way in the other direction, so it's just on, the lights will go off quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time from only a few seconds to three minutes. Please don't cover the light sensor. If you cover the sensor, it will read "dark" and your lights will come on. It is on top of the instrument panel, on the driver's side of the defroster outlets. Twilight Sentinel (Option) Twilight Sentinel turns your lights on and off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch off and move the Twilight Sentinel control to any position but MIN. ~ 104
