Description And Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lincoln Aviator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The interior lamp system is separated into two subsystems: the courtesy lamp subsystem and the on-demand lamp subsystem. Some of the on-demand lamps are also included in the courtesy lamp subsystem.

The instrument cluster illuminates the courtesy lamps when any door, liftgate, or liftgate glass is open or ajar; or when an unlock signal is received by the vehicle security module. The instrument cluster turns off the courtesy lamps when all doors are closed, the vehicle security module receives a lock signal, or 25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated. The courtesy lamps are also activated and deactivated by turning fully on or off the main interior lamp dimmer switch.

An on-demand interior lamp will only illuminate when its specific switch is toggled and the battery saver feature is active.
