Interior Lighting

Instrument Panel Illumination Control


This feature adjusts the brightness of all illuminated controls. The knob for this feature is on the left side of the instrument panel.

Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lights.

The knob is functional at night, or when headlamps or the parking lamps are ON.

Night Mode

At night, when the knob is turned all the way to the off position, the instrument cluster will show minimum feature content (digital speed, gear indication, coolant temperature, and the fuel gauge) with muted colors to reduce light emission for better visibility. The Infotainment System display and the interior lighting are off.

Courtesy Lamps


The interior lamps will come on when any door is opened, on the remote key is pressed, or when the ignition is switched off.

The hatch/trunk lamps only come on when the rear compartment is opened.

Reading Lamps


If equipped, the reading lamps are in the overhead console. The lamps go on when any door is opened, K on the remote key is pressed, or when the vehicle is turned off. When the doors are closed, press the lamp buttons to turn on each lamp.

To operate, the vehicle must be on, in accessory mode, or using Retained Accessory Power (RAP).

Engine Compartment Lamp


If equipped, the engine compartment lamp will turn on briefly when:

  • K is pressed on the key.
  • Keyless Access is used to unlock the door.
  • Any door is opened.
  • The engine compartment hatch is opened.

The engine compartment lamp will turn off when:

  • All doors and the engine compartment hatch are closed.
  • K is pressed on the key.
  • The vehicle begins to move after shifting out of P (Park).
  • The vehicle is started, or turned from off to accessory mode.

If any door or the engine compartment hatch/trunk remains open, while the vehicle is off, a timer will turn the lamp off.
