Entry Lighting


Some exterior lamps and most of the interior lights turn on briefly at night, or in areas of limited lighting when K is pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 31. When the driver door is opened, all control lights, Driver Information Center (DIC) lights, and door pocket lights turn on.

Entry lighting can be disabled manually by turning the ignition on or to ACC/ACCESSORY, or by pressing Q on the RKE transmitter.

Exit Lighting


Some exterior lamps and interior lights come on at night, or in areas with limited lighting, when the driver door is opened after the ignition is turned off. The dome lamp comes on after the ignition is turned off. The exterior lamps and dome lamp remain on for a set amount of time, then automatically turn off.

The exterior lamps turn off immediately by turning the exterior lamp control off.

Battery Power Protection


The battery saver feature is designed to protect the vehicle's battery.

If some interior lamps are left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turns the lamp off after some time.

To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the ignition must be in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN/ START position.
