Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.
Move the thumbwheel to the right to increase brightness
and to the left to decrease brightness.
Illuminated Entry/Exit System
When you lift the driver's door handle or open any door,
the lamps inside your vehicle will go on. These lamps
will fade out about 10 seconds after all of the doors have
been closed or when the ignition is turned to ON. These
lamps will also go on when you press the trunk release,
unlock symbol button or the horn symbol button on the
keyless entry system transmitter (if equipped).
The lamps inside your vehicle will stay on for about
10 seconds after your key is removed from the ignition
to provide an illuminated exit.
Mirror Reading Lamps
Press the button on the bottom portion of the rearview
mirror to turn on the lamps. Press the other side of the
button to turn the lamps off.

2-49 Power Remote Control Mirrors
(If Equipped)
This selector knob
controls both outside
rearview mirrors.
Select the mirror you want to adjust by turning the knob
to the left or right. Adjust each mirror so that you can
see the side of your vehicle and the area beside and
behind your vehicle when you are sitting in a
comfortable driving position.
Turn the knob to the center to turn the remote control
mirror off.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
