Instrument Panel Brightness Knob
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
The knob for this feature is
located to the right of the
Twilight Sentinel lever.
Press the knob to release it to the outward position.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights and
counterclockwise to dim them. Press the knob to
return it to the original storage position.
Interior Lamp Lever
The interior lamp lever,
located in the overhead
console, has three positions:
OFF, AUTO and ON.
When the interior lamp lever is in OFF, the lamps are
turned off. Only the driver's door controls and ignition
switch backlighting functions will operate.
With the lever in AUTO and a front door is opened,
the overhead console light, front hush panel lamps and
rear footwell lamps in the door will automatically come
on. When the rear door is opened, all the front door
lighting and rear overhead lamps will come on.
When the lever is in ON, the courtesy lamps are
turned on. Also, all automatic interior lighting
functions are terminated.
