INTERIOR LAMPS / LIGHTING

Courtesy Lamp Control
The body controller has direct control over all of the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp switch is not in the dome OFF position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is received.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).

Illuminated Entry
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the customer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting the vehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome OFF position.

Interior Lighting Battery Saver
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the ignition is turned OFF, the BCM will turn them OFF after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove box and switched reading lamps require that the ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
