Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located to the right of
the exterior lamp control.
Turn the thumbwheel up to brighten the lights. When the
thumbwheel is moved to the first position, the radio
display and transmission selection display will go to full
intensity. The instrument panel cluster will also be dimly
lit. Moving the thumbwheel up to the next position will
activate the interior dome lamps.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a door.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by moving the
thumbwheel, located to the right of the exterior lamp
control, all the way up to the second position. In this
position, the dome lamps will remain on whether a door
is open or closed.
You can use the dome override button to set the dome
lamps to automatically come on when a door is open, or
to remain off.
The dome override button is located below the exterior
lamp control.
If the dome override button is pushed in, the dome
lamps will not come on. Use this feature when you want
to leave your door(s) open for an extended period of
time and do not want to run the battery down.
If the dome override button is in the out position, the
interior lamps will work as usual.

latching. Make sure the secondary latch (if equipped)
keeps the hood from opening all the way when the
