2019 Dodge Journey 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. 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.

COURTESY LIGHTS

The overhead console has two courtesy lights. The lights turn on when a front door, a rear door or the liftgate is opened. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless Entry, the lights will also turn on when the unlock button on the key fob is pushed. The courtesy lights also function as reading lights. Push in on each lens to turn these lights on while inside the vehicle. Push the lens a second time to turn each light off. You may adjust the direction of these lights by pushing the outside ring, which is identified with four directional arrows.
