Instrument Cluster And Panel Illumination




Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination

Dimmable Illumination

The instrument cluster and panel switch illumination is used to provide backlighting to the instrument panel, switches, and control components when the parking lamps are on. The level of intensity is adjustable by pressing the instrument panel dimmer switch either up to increase intensity or down to decrease intensity.

The dimmable switches and components are illuminated when the parking lamps are ON. The digital dimmer switch is a double detent rocker switch used to control all dimmable interior illuminated components, and to control the courtesy lamps. The first up detent increases dimmable backlighting intensity. The first down detent decreases dimmable backlighting intensity. The second up detent turns the courtesy lamps on. The second down detent turns the courtesy lamps off (allowing other features to control the courtesy lamps).

The dimmable backlighting components are:

- Instrument panel dimmer switch
- Front power liftgate switch
- Roof opening panel control switch
- Power sunshade control switch
- Start/stop switch
- Active park assist switch
- Headlamp switch
- Ambient lighting select switch
