nOte : See Owner’s Manual for more details and explanations.
nOte : Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to drop
and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire
pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and
warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.1 If the instrument cluster and other dashboard illuminations do not dim when turning on the headlights,
push the Instrument Cluster Dimmer knob.
2 • Push to toggle between trip meter A & B.
• When a trip meter is selected, push and hold to reset to zero.
The instrument cluster has a dimmer function that
can be cancelled to make the illumination brighter
during the day when the headlights are on. If
the illumination is too dim during the day,
press the knob, or if the illumination does
not dim when turning on the headlights
at night, press the knob.
When dimmed, rotate the
knob to adjust the brightness
of the illumination.
