To turn the fog lamps on, press the FOG button. A light will come on in the button to let you know that the

fog lamps are on. Press the FOG button again to turn the fog lamps off.

The ignition must be ON and the parking lamps must be on for your fog lamps to work.

The fog lamps will go off while you change to high-beam headlamps.

Instrument Panel Brightness

The control for the instrument panel lights is located on the exterior lamps control. Your parking lamps must

be on for this feature to work. Turn the control clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them.

Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also

turn these lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control all the way clockwise.

Dome Lamp

If your vehicle has this feature, the dome lamp will come on when you open a door. You can also turn this lamp on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise as far as it will go. Vehicles that have the optional sunroof do not have a dome lamp.

Entry Lighting

Your vehicle may be equipped with courtesy lamps that 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 and 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.

Entry lighting 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 canceled if you turn the ignition key to ON or press the power door lock switch. The lamps will dim 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.
