Instrument Panel Illumination

(If equipped)
When the vehicle's parking lights or
headlights are on, the instrument
panel lights activate. This makes the
instruments and controls visible in
darkness. To adjust the instrument
panel illumination intensity, rotate the
illumination control knob.
You can turn ON or OFF the interior
lights (map light, dome light) by rotat-
ing the control knob to the maximum
position when the interior lights are
turned OFF.
