Fog Lamps

The fog lamps button is on the exterior lamps control to
the left of the steering column.

#

(Fog Lamps): Press to turn the fog lamps on or off.

A light comes on in the instrument panel cluster when
the fog lamps are in use. See Instrument Panel Cluster
on page 4‑27
.
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN
position for the fog lamps to work.

The fog lamps will go off when the headlamps are
changed to high-beam.

Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.

Cornering Lamps

For vehicles with this feature, the cornering lamps come
on when: the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the
vehicle is not in P (Park), and you signal a turn with the
turn signal/multifunction lever. They provide more light
for cornering.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver

If the exterior lamp button has been left on, the exterior
lamps will turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is
turned to LOCK/OFF and a door has been opened. This
protects against draining the battery if the headlamps or
parking lamps are accidentally left on. If the lamps need

to be left on for more than 10 minutes, use the exterior
lamp control to turn the lamps back on after the ignition
is turned to LOCK/OFF and any door is opened.

Instrument Panel Brightness

D (Instrument Panel Brightness): This feature
controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights.

The knob for this control is located next to the exterior
lamps control.

Push the knob in and release when it pops out. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the brightness of the
instrument panel lights and counter clockwise to
decrease the brightness. Turning the knob completely
clockwise to the detent will turn on the courtesy lamps.

Courtesy Lamps

When any door is opened, several lamps turn on
making it easier for you to enter and exit the vehicle.
Turn the instrument panel brightness control completely
clockwise to manually turn on these lamps.

Entry Lighting

If it is dark enough outside when you press the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
interior courtesy lamps will turn on and stay on for about
40 seconds. The lamps can be turned off immediately
