Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This button controls the
brightness of your
instrument panel lights
when your headlamps or
parking lamps
are on.
Ish and release the button and it will pop out. Turn the
button clockwise (to the right) to brighten the lights or
counterclockwise (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. Right before turning the courtesy
lamps on by turning the button all the way to the right,
the radio, Driver Information Center (DIC) display and
heating and air conditioning controls will come on at
their maximum brightness. This will occur only with the
parking lamps or headlamps on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door or the hatch/trunk lid 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 lamps on during the day. Your Driver
Information Center
(DIC) may not be visible.
