• Ambient Lighting (if equipped)

The courtesy lamp subsystem consists of:

• Dome Lamps (roof-mounted)
• Door Ajar Switches (integrated into the door latches)
• Courtesy Lamp Switch (integrated in the front and rear dome lamps)

The dome lamps provide illumination of the vehicle interior when entering or exiting the vehicle, or on demand using the courtesy lamp switch located on the front and rear dome lamps.

The courtesy lamp subsystem consists of:

• Map Lamps (overhead console lamps)
• Cargo Lamp
• BCM

The courtesy lamps provide illumination of specific areas inside the vehicle when required.

The BCM supplies power-saving output voltage to the request indicators when the power-saving function is inactive.

The ambient lighting subsystem consists of:

• Ambient Lighting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
• Ambient Lighting Module
• Ambient Lighting Switch
• BCM

Ambient lighting provides decorative colored illumination to the center console cup holders, instrument panel, and front and rear footwells for entry with illumination, or when the ignition is in the RUN position with the parking lamps on. The ambient lighting color is controlled and can be turned off using the ambient lighting switch.
