Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness Control This knob controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights when the headlamps or parking lamps are on. Parade Mode The instrument panel brightness knob has an added feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps are on in the daylight. Turn the knob counterclockwise to dim the instrument panel lights or clockwise to brighten the lights. This will occur only with the parking lamps or headlamps on. Courtesy Lamps When any door or the hatch/trunk lid is opened, the interior lamps will go on (unless it's bright outside). You can also turn on the courtesy lamps by turning the instrument panel brightness knob all the way clockwise. Push and release the knob and it will pop out. Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them. Be sure not to have this knob turned all the way down with the lamps on during the day. Your Driver Information Center (DIC) may not be visible. Exit and Entry Lighting With entry lighting, the interior lamps will come on when entering the vehicle for up to 20 seconds. With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on when the key is turned to OFF or a door is ajar for about 20 seconds. You can turn exit and entry lighting off by quickly turning the headlamps on and off or by quickly turning the courtesy lamps on and off. 2-53
