ROOM LAMP TIMER OPERATION
When interior room lamp/map lamp switch is in AUTO position and when all conditions below are met, BCM performs timer control (maximum 30 seconds) for interior room lamp/map lamp ON/OFF. In addition, when map turns ON or OFF there is gradual brightening or dimming over 1 second.

Power is supplied
- through 10 A fuse [No. 21, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
- to key switch terminal 3.

Key is removed from ignition key cylinder (key switch OFF), power will not be supplied to BCM terminal 37.

Serial data is supplied
- to BCM terminal 22
- through main power window and door lock/unlock switch terminal 14.

At the time that front door LH is opened, BCM detects that front door LH is unlocked. It determines that interior
room lamp/map lamp timer operation conditions are met and turns the interior room lamp/map lamp ON for 30 seconds.

Key is in ignition key cylinder (key switch ON), power is supplied
- through key switch terminal 4
- to BCM terminal 37.

When key is removed from key switch (key switch OFF), power supply to BCM terminal 37 is terminated. BCM detects that key has been removed, determines that interior room lamp and map lamp timer conditions are met, and turns the interior room lamp/map lamp ON for 30 seconds.

When front door LH opens . closes and the key is not inserted in the key switch (key switch OFF), BCM terminal 62 changes between 0 V (door open) . 12 V (door closed). The BCM determines that conditions for interior room lamp/map lamp operation are met and turns the interior room lamp/map lamp ON for 30 seconds.

Timer control is canceled under the following conditions.
- Front door LH is locked (when locked by keyfob, main power window and door lock/unlock switch, or front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch)
- Front door LH is opened (front door switch LH turns ON)
- Ignition switch ON.

INTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
If interior lamp is left "ON", it will not be turned out even when door is closed.

BCM turns off interior lamp automatically to save battery 30 minutes after ignition switch is turned off.

BCM controls interior lamps listed below:
- Vanity mirror lamp
- Interior room lamp (room/map lamps)
- Personal lamp
- Step lamp
- Foot lamp
- Ignition keyhole illumination
- Rear console lamp (with rear console)
- Trunk room lamp

After lamps turn OFF by the battery saver system, the lamps illuminate again when
- signal received from keyfob, or main power window and door lock/unlock switch or front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is locked or unlocked
- door is opened or closed
- key is removed from or inserted in ignition key cylinder.

Interior lamp battery saver control period can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
