Courtesy/Reading Lamp

Courtesy lamps can be turned on by using the panel dim switch located on the headlamp switch assembly or by opening any door. A theater lighting feature gradually increases or decreases the light intensity when switched by opening or closing a door.
Courtesy lamps (controlled by the lighting control module) are activated by using the dome lamp switch (instant ON/OFF response) or when a door is ajar.

The following lamps illuminate for courtesy lighting:
- Instrument panel courtesy lamps
- Front map lamps
- Rear reading lamps
Demand lighting includes courtesy lamps that are illuminated by the customer by directly or indirectly actuating a switch.

The front map lamps are located in the overhead console:
- Each lamp is controlled by its own switch.
- The rear reading lamps are located on the upper side rail (one on each side).
The following four demand lamps are powered by the demand lighting output of the lighting control module. Each lamp has a dedicated switch that closes to ground to illuminate the lamp.

The front map lamps are powered by either the demand lighting circuit or the courtesy lighting circuit, depending upon the position of the switch associated with each lamp.
- When the customer turns the front map lamp switch ON, the front map lamp is illuminated through power supplied by the lighting control module demand lighting circuit.
- It the customer moves the map lamp switch to the OFF position, the power from the lighting control module demand lighting circuit is interrupted and the lamp is reconnected to the courtesy lighting circuit. The rear reading lamps are powered by either the courtesy lighting circuit or the demand lighting circuit.
- When the rear reading lamp switch is moved to the ON position, the rear reading lamp is illuminated through power supplied by the lighting control module demand lighting circuit.
- If the rear reading lamp switch is moved to the OFF position, the power from the lighting control module demand lighting circuit is interrupted and the lamp is reconnected to the courtesy lighting circuit.
