Dome Lamp: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION

Dome light
- Battery voltage is always applied to the dome light.
When the dome switch is turned to "ON", the dome light will remain lit. After either door is opened if the dome light switch is at "DOOR" position, the dome light will come on.
- In this case, the timer circuit in the ETACS-ECU will be activate to gradually vary the voltage for approx. 6 seconds owing to the duty control, and the voltage will be output to power transistor. Since the voltage applied to the dome light gradually decreases, the dome light will be dimmed.
- If the ignition switch is turned to "ON" while the dome light is lit (while the timer is activated), the timer circuit will be opened to turn "OFF" power transistor
This will immediately turn off the dome light without dimming.

Foot lights
- Battery voltage is always applied to the foot lights.
- If either door or liftgate is opened, the foot lights will come on.
- After all doors and liftgate are closed, the foot lights will be dimmed.
