LIGHTS
Interior Lights
The overhead light comes on when a door is opened. It
may also be turned on by rotating the control for the
dimmer switch on the muti-function control lever fully
upward.
The overhead light will automatically turn off in about 20
minutes if a door is left open or the dimmer control is left
in the dome light position. Turn the ignition switch ON to
restore the overhead light operation.
Daytime Brightness Feature
Certain instrument panel components (odometer, radio
display) can be illuminated at full brightness during the
daytime. This can be helpful when driving with your
headlights on during the daytime such as in a parade or
a funeral procession. To activate this feature, rotate the
left stalk one detent lower than the dome light.
Multi-Function Control Lever
The multi-function control lever controls the operation of
the parking lights, headlights, headlight beam selection,
passing light, fog lights, instrument panel light dimming,
and turn signals.
Parking Lights, Instrument Panel Lights, and
Headlights
Turn the end of the multi-function control lever to the
first detent for parking lights and instrument panel
lights. Turn to the second detent for headlight operation.

To change the brightness of the instrument panel lights,
rotate the center portion of the muti-function control
lever up or down. NOTE:
If the driver’s door is left open, and the head-
lights or parking lights are left on, the “High Beam
Indicator Light” will flash and a chime will sound.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned off, a chime will sound when the driver’s door
is opened.
Headlight Dimmer Switch
Pull the multi-function control lever towards you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the muti-
function control lever a second time to switch the head-
lights to LOW beam.
Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multi-function control lever toward
the steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn
on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
146 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION
Your vehicle is equipped with the instrument cluster
described on the following pages.
1. Voltmeter Indicates available battery voltage and charging
system operation. The lower red zone indicates
that battery charge may be too low to start the engine.
With the engine running, the normal operating range is
between 11 and 15 volts. Prolonged gauge readings
between 8-11 (undercharge) or above 15 (overcharge)
indicate possible malfunction of generator, voltage regu-
lator or battery. See your dealer if such indications occur.
2. Front Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped This light shows when the front fog lights are on.
3. Cruise Indicator Light This light shows when the electronic speed
control system is turned on. 4. Sentry Key Indicator Light — If Equipped
Refer to “Sentry Key Immobilizer System” in
Section 2 of this manual. (See page 14 for more
information.)
5. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute
(RPM).
CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
pointer in the red area. Engine damage will occur.
6. Turn Signal Indicator Lights The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals
when the turn signal lever is operated. A tone will
chime if the turn signals are left on for more than 1 mile
(2 km).
