Buick 2000 manual Courtesy Lamps, Delayed Entry Lighting, Theater Dimming, Delayed Exit Lighting

Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave the vehicle. You can also turn these lamps on by sliding the INTERIOR lever all the way to the top.

Delayed Entry Lighting

When you open the door, the interior lamps will turn on. When you close the door with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay on for up to 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned to an on position. When the lamps turn off as a result of the 25 second timer or the ignition switch being turned on, the lighting will deactivate via the theater dimming effect. Note that locking the doors will override the delayed entry lighting feature and the lamps will turn off right away.

Theater Dimming

This feature allows for a three to five-second fade out of the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off.

Delayed Exit Lighting

With this feature, the interior lamps will turn on and stay on for approximately 25 seconds after you remove the key from the ignition. This will give you time to find the door pull handle or lock switches. The exit lighting will be cancelled and the lighting will be theater dim once the key is reinserted into the ignition.

Illuminated Entry

Press the button with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter and the interior courtesy lamps will turn on and stay on for approximately 40 seconds. The lamps will turn off immediately by pressing the button with the lock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter, turning the ignition key to RUN or activating the power door locks.

Perimeter Lighting

When the button with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the DRL headlamps, parking lamps and back-up lamps will turn on if it is dark enough outside.
