Welcome Light

When all doors (and the liftgate) are closed and locked, the puddle lamp turns on for 15 seconds if the door is unlocked with the electronic key or when you touch the outside door handle while carrying the Smart Key.

For more information, refer to the "Welcome System" in this chapter.

Escort Light

When the Engine Start/Stop button is in the OFF position and the driver's door is open, the puddle lamp turns on for 30 seconds. If the driver's door is closed within 30 seconds, the puddle lamp turns off after 15 seconds. If the driver's door is closed and locked, the puddle lamp turns off immediately.

The puddle lamp follow-up function turns on only when the driver's door is opened for the first time after the engine is turned off.
