Instrument Panel Brightness The control for this feature is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. Entry/Exit Lighting When you open any door, the lamps inside of your vehicle will go on. These lamps will fade out 20 seconds after the last door is closed, or when the ignition is turned on after all doors have been closed. These lamps will also go on when you press the trunk release button, the unlock button or the panic button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The lamps inside of your vehicle will turn on for about 10 seconds after your key is removed from the ignition to provide an illuminated exit. Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them. Parade Dimming Parade dimming is a separate lighting mode of operation that is activated if the park lamps are turned on during the day. Usually when the park lamps are turned on during the day, the display's illumination and LEDs become lower and the backlighting is activated. To avoid this condition, backlighting is turned off, and the displays and LEDs are set to a high predetermined intensity when daylight conditions are detected to enhance the display's visibility during daytime. Dome Lamp The switch on this lamp has three positions. The on position will turn on the lamp anytime. The door position will turn on the lamp whenever a door is opened. The off position will shut off the lamp completely, even while a door is opened. Your dome lamp may be equipped with two rear reading lamps. See Rear Reading Lamps on page 3-20. 3-19
