side of your instrument panel.

position, the radio display and PRNDL display will go
to full intensity. The rest of the I/P illumination will stay
in the maximum dimming state. Moving the

dome lamps.The vehicle is also equipped with a DOME OVERRIDE
button. For more information on this feature see ªDome
