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.

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.

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.
