ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM The interior lights, the cargo light, the glove box light, the stepwell lights near the sliding doors and on the front doors, and the footwell lights near the driver's and front passenger's feet illuminate when the front or sliding doors are opened. Once the doors are closed, these lights gradually dim to off within 30 seconds or turn off immediately when the key is turned to the ON position. HOOD Battery saver If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and the interior lights remain illuminated, they eventually turn off automatically to prevent the battery from becoming discharged. If the interior lights are left in the ON position, with all doors closed, they will automatically turn off after approximately 30 minutes. Lights that illuminate when the front or sliding doors are opened turn off after approximately 30 minutes. Lights that illuminate when the back door is opened turn off after approximately 60 minutes. Vanity mirror lights are not part of the battery saver system. If the personal reading lights are left on after the key is removed from the ignition, they will automatically turn off after approximately 30 minutes.
