Meter illumination* is controlled by the unified meter control unit.
Ring illumination under normal operation and engine start excitement function can be turned ON/OFF with
pressing meter illumination control switch for more than 1 second.
*: Illumination for ring, meter face, pointer, dot matrix LCD and odo/trip meter
Daytime Mode
Meter illumination is adjusted to 5 steps by meter illumination control
switch (1) in daytime mode.
Nighttime Mode
Combination meter is transferred to nighttime mode with position light request signal from BCM with CAN
communication.
Meter illumination is adjusted to 16 steps by illumination control
switch (1) in nighttime. Refer to LT- 2 9 5 , "

Combination meter detects the engine start when input engine speed signal at first. Pointers of speed meter
and tachometer sweep and ring illumination gradually turns ON when combination meter detects the engine
start. Then, combination meter starts the normal control.
NOTE:
Water temperature gauge and fuel gauge do not function.
