illumination comes on while the driver’s door is opened and remains on for about
30 seconds after the driver’s door is closed. • [Vehicles with the keyless entry

function and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system
will not function and it will require greater manual effort to operate the steering.
