Entry Lighting

Your vehicle is equipped with an illuminated entry feature.

When a door is opened, the dome lamps will come on if the DOME OVERRIDE button is in the out position. When the doors are closed, the lamps will stay on for a short period of time and will turn off automatically. If you use your keyless entry transmitter, if equipped, to unlock your vehicle, the interior lamps will come on for a short time whether or not the DOME OVERRIDE button is in the out position.

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. If the DOME OVERRIDE button is in the out position, these lamps will stay

on for a short period of time and then will go out.

Front Reading Lamps

Press the button located near each lamp on the overhead console to turn a reading lamp on and off. The lamps can be swiveled to point in the desired direction.

If you have the mini console, press the lens on each lamp to turn it on or off.

Map Lamps

If your vehicle has front map lamps, they are located on the inside rearview mirror. They will automatically come on for about 40 seconds when the doors are unlocked with the keyless entry transmitter, if equipped, or until the ignition key is turned to RUN or ACCESSORY. The lamps will also stay on for about

40 seconds after you exit the vehicle unless you lock the doors with the keyless entry transmitter.

You can also turn the lamps on and off by pressing the button near each lamp.

Battery Run-Down Protection

This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity, reading, glove box and underhood lamps if they are left on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is off. This will keep your battery from running down.

If the battery run-down protection shuts off the interior lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to return to normal operation:

•Shut off all lamps and close all doors.

•Turn the ignition key to RUN.
