Interior Lights

WARNING

Do not use interior lights while driving in the dark. Interior lighting can reduce your night vision, obscure your view, and increase the risk of an accident.

NOTICE

Do not leave the interior lights on for extended periods while the vehicle is turned off, or the battery may discharge.

Interior lamp AUTO cut

To help prevent battery drain, the interior lamps automatically turn off approximately 20 minutes after the engine is turned off and the doors are closed. If a door remains open, the lamp will turn off about 40 minutes after the engine is turned off. If the doors are locked using the remote key or smart key and the vehicle enters the armed stage of the theft alarm system, the lamps will turn off about five seconds later.
