Interior Lighting

The Courtesy Lamps and illuminated entry feature are controlled by the CTM. The CTM will activate the Courtesy Lamps, including Map Lamps and the Dome Lamps when either the Dome Lamp switch is turned on, a door is opened, or the UNLOCK button is pressed on the RKE Transmitter. The Courtesy Lamps will fade to off immediately when all doors are closed with the Dome lamp in the off position.

The illuminated entry feature operates under the following conditions:

• Dome lamp switch is turned on.
• Driver/Passenger door is opened.
• RKE unlock.
• Unlocking either the driver or passenger door using the key (vehicles equipped with VTSS).

Once activated, the illuminated entry will fade to off after 3-5 seconds under the following conditions:

• All doors are closed and RKE lock signal is received.
• Manual actuated power lock signal is received.
• Ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
• 30 seconds have elapsed without any other action.

In addition, RKE unlock actuation before the expiration of illuminated entry will reset timer. Opening any door before the 30 second timer expires, will reset the entry timer to 30 seconds and the illuminated entry timer will not begin counting down again until all doors are closed.

The Interior Light defeat feature will not allow any Interior Lamp to be turned on. This is accomplished through an input to the CTM from the Dome Lamp switch. The CTM provides battery protection by shutting down the Interior Lights after fifteen minutes due to the following:

• Dome Lamp Switch on.
• Reading/Vanity Lamp Switch on.
• Glove Box door open.
• Leaving a door open.
• Reading/Vanity Lamp switch on.
