Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located to the right of
the exterior lamp control.
Turn the thumbwheel up to brighten the lights. When the
thumbwheel is moved to the first position, the radio
display and transmission selection display will go to full
intensity. The instrument panel cluster will also be dimly
lit. Moving the thumbwheel up to the next position will
activate the interior dome lamps.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a door.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by moving the
thumbwheel, located to the right of the exterior lamp
control, all the way up to the second position. In this
position, the dome lamps will remain on whether a door
is open or closed.
You can use the dome override button to set the dome
lamps to automatically come on when a door is open, or
to remain off.
The dome override button is located below the exterior
lamp control.
If the dome override button is pushed in, the dome
lamps will not come on. Use this feature when you want
to leave your door(s) open for an extended period of
time and do not want to run the battery down.
If the dome override button is in the out position, the
interior lamps will work as usual.

2-71 Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
While the engine is running, press the reset button,
located to the right of the trip odometer, to toggle
between the trip odometer and the regular odometer.
Holding the reset button for two seconds while the
engine is running and the trip odometer is displayed,
will reset it.
To display the odometer reading with the ignition off,
press the reset button.

2-80 Range Inhibited Warning Indicator
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with an Allison
1000/2000/2400 series automatic transmission, a lighted
bar under the current gear selected will flash.
If your vehicle is equipped with an Allison MD
automatic transmission, the current gear selected on
the pushbutton display will flash.
The flashing bar or gear selection indicates that
transmission range shifts may not occur.
For detailed information on shift inhibit limitations, see
the Allison Automatic Transmission Operator's Manual
in your vehicle for further information.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle has either hydraulic or air brakes.
Each system has different warning lights.
Hydraulic Brake System Warning Lights
Vehicles with hydraulic systems have two brake system
warning lights on the instrument panel.
If the BRAKE warning light
comes on, it means that the
fluid level in the master
cylinder reservoir is low or
there is another problem
with your hydraulic brakes.
When it comes on, you will also hear a warning tone.
The BRAKE warning light may come on, and the
warning tone may sound, when you're turning and
braking at the same time. This is normal. See ªHydraulic
Brake Systemsº in the Index.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
fan to high for a few moments before driving off.
This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
