The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the tail lights are turned on, the meter’s brightness will be reduced
slightly unless the meter brightness level adjustment is set to the brightest
setting.
On some models: If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are
dark, the meter’s brightness will reduce slightly. However, when the sur-
roundings are bright, such as during the daytime, the meter’s brightness will
not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on.
