are on.
Push and release the knob and it will pop out.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or

Be sure not to have this knob turned all the way down
with the lamps on during the day. Your Driver

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. Turn the knob counterclockwise to
dim the instrument panel lights or clockwise to brighten
the lights. 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).
You can also turn on the courtesy lamps by turning the
instrument panel brightness knob all the way clockwise.

With entry lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
entering the vehicle for up to 20 seconds. With exit

You can turn exit and entry lighting off by quickly
turning the headlamps on and off or by quickly turning
the courtesy lamps on and off.
