Illuminated Entry Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped). If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door, the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds. Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don't just turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to ON so that the lamps will dim out right away. When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened. The ignition must be off and the doors locked for the illumination on door handle activation to work. The illumination on door handle activation feature can function in two ways. If the driver pulls and releases any front door handle within one second, the interior lamps will illuminate until one of the following occurs: D The ignition is turned to ON, D the power door locks are activated or D an illumination period of 25 seconds has elapsed. Or, if the driver pulls and holds any front door handle for more than one second, the interior lamps will illuminate until one of the following occurs: Illumination on Door Handle Activation Illumination on door handle activation is a standard feature intended to provide enhanced security and convenience by allowing the driver to activate the vehicle interior illumination without unlocking or opening any vehicle door. D The ignition is turned to ON, D the door handle is released or D an illumination period of 50 seconds has elapsed. If during the illumination period a door is opened, the timed illumination period will be cancelled, though the interior lamps will remain on because a vehicle door is open. 2-46
