Page 49: Lights

The lights come on whenever the ignition is in either the on or accessory
position. Note: The ambient lights will stay on until after the ignition is
placed in the off position and either of the front doors are opened or the
delay accessory timer expires.
Interior lighting battery saver
The interior lamps will automatically extinguish after 10 minutes when
the ignition key is in the off/lock position, a door has been left open or
the interior lamp controls are in the on position.
BULB REPLACEMENT
Headlamp condensation
The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.
