2022 Dodge Challenger Owners Manual - Interior lights



Interior lights

The interior lights come on when a door is opened.

To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off automatically 10 minutes after the ignition is placed in the OFF position. This will occur if the interior lights were switched on manually or are on because a door is open. The Battery Protection also includes the glove compartment light and the trunk light. To restore interior light operation after automatic battery protection is enabled (lights off), either place the ignition in the ON/RUN position or cycle the light switch.

FRONT MAP/READING LIGHTS


These lights are mounted between the sun visors on the overhead console. Each light is turned on by pushing the lens. Push the lens a second time to turn off the light. These lights also turn on when a door is opened, when the unlock button on the remote keyless entry key fob is pushed, or when the dimmer control is turned fully upward, to the second detent.

AMBIENT LIGHT — IF EQUIPPED


The overhead console is equipped with an ambient light feature. This light casts illumination for improved visibility of the floor and center console area.

Rotate the right dimmer control upward or downward to increase or decrease the brightness of the door handle lights, map pocket lights, and ambient light located in the overhead console.

With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating the left dimmer control upward will increase the brightness of the instrument panel lights and lighted cupholders (if equipped).

Rotate the instrument panel dimmer control downward to the O (off) position, and the interior lights will remain off when the doors are open.

Rotate the instrument panel dimmer control upward to the first detent to brighten all text displays such as the odometer, instrument cluster display, and radio when the parking lights or headlights are on. Rotating the instrument panel dimmer control completely upward to the second detent will turn on the interior lights. The interior lights will remain on when the dimmer control is in this position.

ILLUMINATED ENTRY


The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the key fob to unlock the doors or open any door.

The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds, or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is placed in the ON/RUN position from the OFF position.

The courtesy lights will not turn off if the instrument panel dimmer control is rotated upward to the second detent. The courtesy lights will turn off after 10 minutes when the ignition is placed in the OFF position to protect the battery.

The illuminated entry system will not operate if the instrument panel dimmer control is rotated all the way down to the O (off) position.
