dimmer control in the multifunction lever. This light is
also controlled automatically by the Illuminated Entry
system.
Battery Saver Feature — Interior Lights
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 15 minutes after the ignition switch is
moved to the OFF/LOCK position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are on
because a door is open or the liftgate is open (Coupe
models). To restore interior light operation, turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN position or cycle the
light switch.
Dimmer Control
The dimmer control is part of the multifunction lever. It
controls the operation of the interior lights and the
brightness of the instrument panel lights.
Instrument Panel Dimming
With the parking lights or headlights
on, rotate the dimmer control upward
to increase the brightness of the instru-
ment panel lights or rotate it down-
ward to decrease the brightness of the
instrument panel lights.
Interior Light (ON)
Rotate the dimmer control completely
upward to the second detent to turn
on the interior lights. The interior
lights will remain on when the dim-
mer control is in this position.
