AUTOMATIC PANEL DIMMING
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parklamp operation.
The instrument panel illumination
automatically adjusts to provide the
best visibility as outside light levels
change; this can range from full on
to dim during dark or nearly dark
outside conditions, to completely off
during bright outside conditions.
This will work independently from the headlamp, parklamp and autolamp
systems.
At all illumination levels, the instrument panel lights can still be dimmed
by using the panel dimmer control.
The dimmer switch can be used to control the interior dome lamps.
Move the control to the full upright position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps and the outside mirror puddle lamps.
Move the control to the full down position, past detent, to prevent the
interior lights from illuminating when the doors are opened. When the
control is in the full down position, it acts as a dome lamp
defeat/override.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
Your vehicle is fitted with eitherVOR(conventional halogen) orVOL
(High Intensity Discharge - HID) headlamps. The adjustment procedure
depends on the type of headlamps that are equipped on your vehicle.
