Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Illuminated Entry
On vehicles equipped with an optional remote keyless entry (RKE) system, the illuminated entry activates the interior lamps anytime an RKE transmitter unlock button is pressed. The length of time the illuminated entry system is energized is controlled by the RKE module. The illuminated entry feature will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met:
- 25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and the interior lamp control is turned off.
- The ignition is in the RUN or START position, and the interior lamp control is not activated.
- The RKE transmitter lock button is pressed.
