Interior lights
COURTESY LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front doors are opened, when the dimmer control (rotating wheel on the bottom of the switch) is rotated to the far right detent position. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless Entry, and the unlock button is pushed on the key fob, the courtesy and dome lights will turn on.
Courtesy/Reading Lights
Both lights in the overhead console and rear passenger compartment will illuminate as courtesy lights when a door is opened, when the dimmer control is rotated to the courtesy light position (full right position), or when the unlock button is pushed on the key fob. These lights are also operated individually as reading lights by pushing on the corresponding lens.
Front Courtesy/Reading Lights
NOTE:
The courtesy/reading lights will remain on until the switch is pushed a second time, so be sure they have been turned off before exiting the vehicle. If the interior lights are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF position, they will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
Ambient Light — If Equipped
The overhead console is equipped with an ambient light feature. This light casts illumination for improved visibility of the floor console area.
Ambient Light
Dimmer Control
The brightness of the instrument panel as well as the ambient lighting can be regulated by rotating the dimmer control to the right (brighter) or to the left (dimmer).
Dimmer Control
Dimmer Control (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer control all the way left, to the off detent, will cause all the interior lights to go out.
This allows the doors to stay open for extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle's battery.
When the headlights are on you can supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odometer, radio and overhead console by rotating the control to the right until you hear a click. This can be used when headlights are required during the day.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen, the dimming of the touchscreen is programmable through the Uconnect system.
ILLUMINATED APPROACH
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the key fob to unlock the doors or open any door.
This feature also turns on the approach lighting in the outside mirrors (if equipped) ⇒ page.
The lights will fade off after approximately 30 seconds, or they will immediately fade off once the ignition switch is changed to ON/RUN from the OFF position.
The front courtesy overhead console and door courtesy lights will not turn off if the dimmer control is in the “Dome ON” position.
The illuminated entry system will not operate if the dimmer control is in the “Dome OFF” position.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with illuminated approach lights under the outside mirrors, they can be turned off by moving the instrument panel dimmer into the “Dome Defeat” detent position.
