WARNING: Always remember to turn on your headlamps at
dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp

(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not
provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL

Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel when exterior
lights are on.
• Rotate the thumbwheel from left

to right to brighten the instrument panel.

• Rotate the thumbwheel from right to left to dim the instrument panel.
• Rotate fully to the right (past detent) to turn on interior lamps.
• Rotate to the left position (past detent) to turn off the interior lamps

and to disable the illuminated entry feature. When the control is in the
far left 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.

At dusk and dawn, the LEDs are illuminated at six times the normal
intensity to enhance contrast and visibility. The system automatically
“dims down” as ambient light reaches the dash-mounted sensor.

The interior control lights dim progressively in four steps until they
reach nighttime operating levels. At all illumination levels, the lights can
be dimmed using the thumbwheel on the instrument panel.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.

Vertical aim adjustment

Before aim adjustment, disable the air suspension system. Refer to
Message center in the Driver Controls chapter.

1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
