Interior Lighting Components

Lamps-Courtesy
The interior lamps are located on the roof trim panel. The interior lamps are energized anytime the lamp switches are activated or when the headlamp switch is turned counterclockwise to the stop position.

Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry activates the interior lamps anytime the door handle is pulled to the open position. The length of time the illuminated entry system is energized is controlled by the illuminated entry module. The illuminated entry feature will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met:
^ 25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and the interior lamp control is turned off.
^ The ignition is in the RUN or START position, and the interior lamp control is not activated.

On vehicles equipped with an optional remote key less entry system, the functions of the illuminated entry module are performed by the remote key less entry module.
