Delayed Illumination With delayed illumination, the courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for 25 seconds after you enter the vehicle and close the doors. They will also stay on for five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close the doors. Delayed illumination will be shortened if the ignition is turned to RUN or if the power locks are activated. To turn this feature on or off, see "Feature Customization" in the Index. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature. It allows certain features on your vehicle to continue to work up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF. Your convertible top, power windows, power mirrors and audio system will work when the ignition key is in RUN or ACC. Once the key is turned from RUN to OFF, these features will continue to work for up to 10 minutes or until either door is opened. Your power door unlock and remote hatch release features will work when the ignition key is in RUN or ACC or if either door is open. Once the key is turned to OFF, these features will continue to work for up to 10 minutes. If either door is open and the ignition key is off, these features will continue to work until both doors have been closed for about 30 seconds or until the theft-deterrent system arms. At that time, both the power door unlock and remote hatch release features will be disabled to enhance the security of the vehicle. The power door lock function will work at all times except when lockout prevention is enabled. See "Lockout Prevention" in the Index. Exit Lighting With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when you remove the key from the ignition to help you see while exiting the vehicle. To turn this feature on or off, see "Feature Customization" in the Index. Front Map Lamps Your inside rearview mirror includes two map lamps. Each lamp has its own switch. Use the switch closest to the lamp to turn it on. The lamps will also come on when a door is opened. 2-55
