Interior Lamps
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 lamps 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 be dimly lit.
Moving the thumbwheel up to the next position will
activate the interior dome lamps

2-44 Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a door.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by moving the
instrument panel brightness thumbwheel, located next
to 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, located
below the exterior lamp control, to set the dome lamps
to automatically come on when a door is open, or to
remain off.
If the DOME OVERRIDE button is pushed in, the dome
lamps will not come on.
If the DOME OVERRIDE button is out, the interior
lamps will work as usual.
If the button is pressed in, the interior lamps will not
come on when any of the vehicle's doors are opened.
This feature is helpful when you want to leave your
door(s) open for an extended period of time and do not
want to run the battery down. The button is located next
to the exterior lamp control.
Illuminated Entry
The delayed illumination feature will allow you to
enter or exit your vehicle with the lights on for about
20 seconds, after the door is closed or the ignition
is cycled.
