or headlight position, rotating the center portion of the
lever up and down will increase and decrease the bright-
ness (dimmer control) of the instrument panel lights. Full
daytime brightness on all electronic displays (odometer,

detent above the dimmer range. Rotating the control to
the second detent above the dimmer range turns the
