Interior Lighting Delay
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The interior lighting delay feature provides temporary illumination of the interior lamps after doors are opened, then closed. This feature will keep the interior lamps on for a period of up to 25 seconds, or until the ignition cycles from OFF, or the vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter.
