88 AUTOLAMPS Lighting The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lights normally controlled by the headlamp control. The autolamp system also keeps the lights on for approximately 20 seconds or, if equipped with a message center, you can select a delay from 0-180 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off. See Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter. • To turn autolamps on, rotate the control counterclockwise one position. • To turn autolamps off, rotate the control to the off position. INSTRUMENT LIGHTING DIMMER Use to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel and all applicable switches in the vehicle during headlamp and parking lamp operation. Move the control to the full upright position, past detent, to turn on the interior lamps. Move the control to the full down position, past detent, to prevent the interior lights from illuminating when the doors are opened. When the control is in the full down position, it acts as a dome lamp defeat/override. Note: If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is installed, the dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the dimmer switch from the full dim position to the full dome/on position to reset. This will ensure that your displays are visible under all lighting conditions. 2014 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, June 2013 USA (fus)
