INTERIOR LIGHTS

Interior Courtesy Lights

The interior lights come on when a door is
opened. The light switches in the overhead
console are for reading lamps.
Overhead Light Switches
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn
off automatically 15 minutes after the ignition is
placed in the OFF position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are
on because a door is open. This includes the
glove compartment light and the cargo area
light. To restore interior light operation, either
place the ignition in the ON/RUN position or
cycle the light switch.
Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
The instrument panel dimmer control is part of
the headlight switch and is located on the
driver's side of the instrument panel.
Rotating the instrument panel dimmer control
upward will increase the brightness of the
instrument panel lights, ONLY when the parking
lights or headlights are turned on.
Rotating the instrument panel dimmer up or
down will adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel lights ONLY when the parking
lights or headlights are turned on, AND ONLY if
the built in cluster light sensor determines that
the ambient light levels are low enough that the
backlighting should be enabled.
