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.

- 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.
