backlighting to the door switches and to the exterior
lamp control when a door is opened or if you press the
remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button. If

active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning
the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise
to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting.

The reading lamps are located on the overhead console
on the headliner and in the rear door opening. These
lamps come on automatically when any door is opened
and it is dark outside.
For manual operation, press the button to turn them on.
Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
