Parade Dimming This feature prohibits dimming of the instrument panel displays and backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature operates with the light sensor and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are active, the instrument panel displays can be adjusted by sliding the instrument panel brightness lever toward the symbol to brighten or away from the symbol to dim the lighting. Battery Run-Down Protection Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent the battery from being drained, in case the underhood lamp, vanity mirror lamps, cargo lamps, reading lamps, console, or glove box lamps are accidentally left on, or something is left plugged into the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter. If any of the accessory lamps are left on, they will automatically time-out after about 20 minutes. To reset the battery protection, all of the above lamps must be turned off or the ignition key must be in ON. Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located on the overhead console. These lamps come on automatically when any door is opened. For manual operation, press the button next to each lamp to turn it on or off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off. 177
