Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination
Refer to
Wiring Diagrams Section 413-00, for
schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
NOTE: A new instrument cluster must be
configured.
The instrument cluster and panel illumination
consists of dimmable and non-dimmable
illumination. The dimmable panel illumination is
controlled by the panel illumination switch (part of
the headlamp switch), which allows the brightness
level of the backlights to be adjusted dependent
on the customer preference. When the headlamp
switch is in the parking lamps ON or headlamps
ON position, the intensity of the backlighting can
be adjusted using the panel dimmer switch. The
non dimmable illumination allows for full intensity
dependant on the ignition switch position.
Instrument Cluster and Dimmable
Backlighting A.
Tachometer
B. Engine coolant temperature gauge
C. Fuel gauge
D. Speedometer
E. Information display
The dimmable illumination utilizes light emitting
diodes (LEDs) and bulb(s). The following dimmable
components are backlight using LEDs only:
• ashtray
• cigar lighter
• transmission control lever
• heater control panel
• audio unit • navigation system display module
• instrument cluster
• climate control module
• hazard switch
• traction control system disable switch
• right-hand and left-hand heated front seat
switch(es)
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical
or electrical damage.

Parking Aid – Overview
Parking aid sensors
CAUTIONS:
Always keep sensors free from dirt, ice and
snow. Do not use any sharp objects to
clean the sensors. If a high-pressure cleaner is used to wash
the vehicle, the jet must only be aimed at
the sensors briefly at a distance of at least
20 cm.
The parking aid sensors have a separate
decoupling ring, which must be removed before
painting the sensors, and then refitted.
