tail lights are on and surrounding brightness levels, as shown in the table
below.
*: 22 levels of the brightness are displayed on the setting scree n. However,
the brightness setting will be the brightest when other than 1st level (the
darkest) is selected. If other than 1st or 22nd level is select ed, when the

setting will be the selected level.
● If the taillights are illuminated in a dark environment, the in strument cluster
light dims. However, when the brightness of the instrument clus ter is set to
minimum or maximum (1st or 22nd level of the instrument cluster bright-
ness), even if the taillights are illuminated, the instrument c luster light will
not dim.
