yellowblue Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness By turning the headlamp knob you can make the instrument panel lights brighten or dim. See "Headlamps" in the Index. Delayed Entry Lighting When you open the door to enter your vehicle, the interior lamps will come on. When you close the door with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on for 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned to an on position. Note that locking the doors will override the delayed entry lighting feature and the lamps will turn off right away. Courtesy Lamps When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave the car. To turn on these lamps without opening the door, turn the headlamp knob to the right. Theater Dimming This feature allows for a three to five-second fade out of the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off. Illuminated Entry Press the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter and the interior courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for up to one minute. The lamps will turn off immediately when pressing the LOCK button on the transmitter, starting the ignition or activating the power door locks. Delayed Exit Lighting With this feature, the interior lamps will come on for 25 seconds after you remove the key from the ignition. This will give you time to find the door pull handle or lock switches when you exit the vehicle. Parade Dimming This feature prohibits the dimming of your instrument panel displays during daylight while your headlamps are on. This feature operates with the light sensor for the twilight sentinel and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside, you will be able to dim your instrument panel displays once again. 2-43
