Instrument Panel and Interior Lights
When the multi-function control lever is in the parklight,
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,
overhead console, radio, and climate control) is obtained
by rotating the center portion of the control to the first
detent above the dimmer range. Rotating the control to
the second detent above the dimmer range turns the
interior lights on. Rotating the control to the “Off”
(extreme bottom) position disables all the interior lights,
even when the doors and liftgate are open. While in the
“Off” position the instrument panel lighting is at the
lowest light level and may not be suitable for night
driving.
Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped
The high beam headlights come on at a low intensity
level after the engine has started. The lights remain on
until the ignition switch is turned OFF or the parking
brake is engaged. The headlight switch must be used for
normal night time driving.
Lights-On Reminder
A chime will sound if the driver’s door is left open, and
the headlights or parking lights are left on.
Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is located in the multi-
function control lever. To activate the fog lights,
turn on the park or low beam headlights and pull
out the end of the lever. The “Fog Light Indicator Light”
will illuminate when the fog lights are on.
NOTE:The fog lights will only operate with the park
lights or the headlights on low beam. Selecting high
beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
