Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This button controls the
brightness of your
instrument panel lights
when your headlamps
or parking lamps are on.
Push and release the button and it will pop out. Turn the
button clockwise (to the right) to brighten the lights or
counter clockwise (to the left) to dim them. The
instrument panel brightness knob has an added
feature called Parade Mode to assist you in seeing
certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps
are on in the daylight. Just before turning the courtesy
lamps on by turning the button all the way to the right,
the radio,
DIC display and heating and air conditioning
controls will come on at their maximum brightness..
This will occur only with the parklamps or
headlamps on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door or the hatch is opened, the interior
lamps will go on (unless it’s bright outside). The lamps
will stay on for about
30 seconds or until you turn on
the ignition.
You can also turn on the courtesy lamps by turning the
interior brightness control button all the way to the right.
Be sure not to have this knob turned all the way down
with the lights on during the day. Your
DIC may not
be visible.
