Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PANEL ILLUMINATION

The instrument cluster and panel illumination is used to provide backlighting to the instrument panel, switches, and control components when the headlamp switch is in either the PARKING LAMPS ON or HEADLAMPS ON position. The level of intensity is adjustable by pushing the instrument panel dimmer switch either up to increase intensity or down to decrease intensity.

The dimmable backlighting components are:
- Instrument cluster
- Message center switches
- Headlamp switch
- Traction assist/parking aid disable switch
- Floor shifter
- Climate control module
- Audio unit
- Steering wheel control switch(es)

NOTE: If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the instrument panel dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch from the full dim position to the dome ON position. This will make sure that all displays are visible under all lighting conditions.

The non-dimmable backlighting components are:
- Power window control switches
- Door lock control switches
