for the dimmer switch on the multi-function control lever
upward will increase the brightness of the instrument
panel lights. Rotating the control completely upward

lever one detent lower than the dome light.

lens. To turn these lights off, press the recessed area of the
lens a second time.

and turn signals.

116 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To change the brightness of the instrument panel lights,
rotate the center portion of the multi-function control
lever up or down.
High Beam/Low Beam Select Switch
Pull the multi-function control lever towards you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the multi-
function control lever a second time to switch the head-
lights to LOW beam. The “High Beam Indicator Light”
will illuminate when the high beams are on.
Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multi-function control lever toward
the steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn
on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
The “High Beam Indicator Light” will illuminate when
the high beams are on.
Turn Signals
Move the multi-function control lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever
partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.
If either light flashes at a very fast rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light
when the lever is moved, it would suggest that the fuse
or indicator is defective.
NOTE: A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on
for more than 2 miles (3.2 km).
