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.

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
