Interior Lighting

INTERIOR LIGHTING
Courtesy Lamp Control
The body controller has direct control over the majority of the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the following conditions:
1. Any door is ajar.
2. The courtesy lamp switch ON the instrument panel is closed.
3. A Remote Keyless entry unlock message is received. If the interior lamps are left ON after the ignition is turned OFF, the BCM will turn them OFF after 15 minutes or until either the dome lamp switch or door ajar switch changes state.

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.
