AUTOLAMPS

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.
