Buick Enclave: Entry Lighting. Delayed Entry Lighting. Delayed Exit Lighting

Entry Lighting

For vehicles with courtesy lamps, they come on and stay on for a set time whenever is pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.

If a door is opened, the lamps stay on while it is open and then turn off automatically about 20 seconds after the door is closed. If is pressed and no door is opened, the lamps turn off after about 20 seconds.

Entry lighting includes a feature called theater dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps do not turn off at the end of the delay time.

Instead, they slowly dim and then go out. The delay time is canceled if the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN or the power door lock switch is pressed. The lamps will dim right away.

When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the courtesy lamps will not come on unless a door is opened.

Delayed exit lighting illuminates the interior for a period of time after the key is removed from the ignition.

The ignition must be off for delayed exit lighting to work. When the key is removed, interior illumination activates and remains on until one of the following occurs:

If during the illumination period a door is opened, the timed illumination period will be canceled and the interior lamps will remain on because a door is open.
