Interior Lighting: Overview

Interior Lighting

Overview

The interior lighting system consists of:

- Courtesy lamps

- Demand lamps

- Ambient lighting (if equipped)

The courtesy lamps subsystem consists of:

- interior lamps (roof mounted and front footwells)

- puddle lamps

- door ajar switches (integrated into the door latches)

- courtesy lamp switch (integrated into the front/driver interior lamp)

- DDM (Driver Door Module)

- PDM (Passenger Door Module)

- BCM (Body Control Module)

The courtesy lamps provide illumination to the interior of the vehicle (and below the exterior mirrors if equipped with puddle lamps) when entering or exiting the vehicle or when requested using the courtesy lamp switch located on the front/driver interior lamp.

The demand lamps subsystem consists of:

- interior lamps (map lamps)

- vanity mirror lamps

- luggage compartment lamp

- BCM (Body Control Module)

The demand lamps are used to provide illumination to specific areas within the vehicle, such as a map/reading lamp, the luggage compartment lamp or the vanity mirror.

The ambient lighting subsystem consists of:

- ambient lighting LEDs (Light-emitting Diodes)

- ambient lighting module (integrated into the overhead console)

- ambient lighting switches (integrated into the overhead console)

The ambient lighting provides aesthetically colored illumination to the center console cup holders, the door map pockets, the overhead console, the door release handles, and the front footwells for illuminated entry or when the ignition is in run with the parking lamps on. The ambient lighting is controlled using the buttons and knob on the overhead console.
