Courtesy Lamp: Description and Operation

COURTESY/ILLUMINATED ENTRY LAMPS

Within the non dimming lamps group are the courtesy/Illuminated entry lamps. These lamps may be manually turned on by placing the IP dimmer switch in the ON position. The following lamps are in the courtesy/Illuminated entry lamps group:
^ The dome lamps - Coupe
^ The rear courtesy lamps - Convertible
^ The inside rearview mirror lamps
^ The rear compartment lamp

The courtesy lamps will also illuminate when the illuminated entry feature is active, when the ignition is OFF and one of the following actions occur:
^ The LH door is opened.
^ The RH door is opened.
^ The rear compartment is opened.

After the doors and the rear compartment have been closed, the courtesy lamps will remain illuminated approximately 30 seconds. The BCM will immediately turn off the courtesy lamps if a door lock command is received with all the doors closed, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position.
