Instrument Light Brightness Control
Your vehicle has a system to automatically dim the instrument panel lights when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position and the lighting switch is turned to either the second or third position. The level of brightness depends on the position of the brightness control thumbwheel.

To activate the automatic dimming feature, turn the brightness control thumbwheel downward. When the thumbwheel is in the minimum brightness position, the instrument panel lights, except for the meter lights, are turned off.
