Illuminated Entry

NOTE: When the illuminated entry feature is activated by using the remote transmitter, the keyless entry keypad does NOT illuminate.

The illuminated entry system:
- Is controlled by the lighting control module.
- Provides courtesy lighting upon entry to and exit from the vehicle.

The keyless entry keypad:
- Remains illuminated for five seconds after an outside door handle is raised, or for five seconds following the last keypad switch press.

Courtesy lamps turn ON for 25 ± 1 seconds, including a theater lighting ramp-up time (two seconds). This time interval does not include the theater lighting ramp-down time. Courtesy lamps will turn OFF before the 25 ± 1 seconds timeout if the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or ACC position.

The illuminated entry system has these additions to accommodate the keyless entry system:
- Pressing the keyless entry remote transmitter UNLOCK button or any switch on the keyless entry keypad will also turn ON the illuminated entry system (with theater ramp-up). When the driver door module detects a switch press, it momentarily changes the status of the illuminated entry signal to a logic "low" commanding the lighting control module to activate the courtesy lamps. The keyless entry keypad will remain illuminated for five seconds following the illuminated entry ON signal transition or for five seconds following the last keypad switch press.
- If the keyless entry remote transmitter LOCK button is pressed or the 7/8 and 9/0 keyless entry keypad switches are pressed concurrently (to lock the doors), the lighting control module will turn off the lamps. The driver door module will also turn OFF the keyless entry keypad illumination when the last two keyless entry keypad switches are pressed concurrently.
