Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: Dome light

The interior light has a three-position switch and operates regardless of ignition switch position.

When the switch is in the ON position 1 , the interior lights illuminate, regardless of door position.

The lights will go off after a period of time unless the ignition switch is placed in the ACC or ON position.

When the switch is in the DOOR position 2 , the interior lights will stay on for a period of time when:

• The doors are unlocked by the keyfob, a key or the power door lock switch while all doors are closed and the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
• The driver’s door is opened and then closed while the key is removed from the ignition switch.
• The key is removed from the ignition switch while all doors are closed.

The lights will turn off while the timer is activated when:

• The driver’s door is locked by the keyfob, a key, or the power door lock switch.
• The ignition switch is placed in the ON position.

When the switch is in the OFF position 3 , the interior lights do not illuminate, regardless of door position.

The lights will turn off automatically after a period of time while doors are open to prevent the battery from becoming discharged.

CAUTION

Do not use for extended periods of time with the engine stopped. This could result in a discharged battery.
