Interior Light
INTERIOR LIGHTETACS-ECU makes it possible to force operation of all ON and OFF light switches in the overhead console (the dome light, reading light, cargo area light, rear personal lights, front door lights, and front foot lights). This function is assigned higher priority than the controls for the interior light switch that are performed when the doors are in certain positions.
- When the lights are forced on, the illumination level is 100% as all interior lights are switched on (the dome light, reading light, cargo area light, rear personal lights, front door lights, and front foot lights). Even when all lights are forced on, the interior light automatic shutoff function is active.
- When the lights are forced off, all interior lights are immediately switched off (the dome light, reading light, cargo area light, rear personal lights, front door lights, and front foot lights).
When the interior light switch is at DOOR position, the ETACS-ECU controls the interior lights as follows:
- When a door is opened with the ignition switch off, the interior lights up to a luminance of 100 percent. When a door is closed, the interior lights dims a luminance of 65 percent, and goes off 30 seconds later. However if the ignition switch is turned ON or if a door is locked while the interior lights is dimming, the dome light will go off at that point.
- When a door is opened with the ignition switch ON, the interior lights up at a luminance of 100 percent. When a door is closed, the interior lights go off.
- When the ignition key is removed with all doors closed, the interior lights up at a luminance of 100 percent, and go off 30 seconds later. However, if the ignition key are inserted again or if a door is locked while the interior lights is lighting, the interior lights will go off at that point.
- To check keyless entry operations more easily, the interior lights will flash twice when doors are locked. When doors are unlocked, the interior lights up at a luminance of 100 percent, and goes off 15 seconds later.
