doors are opened, when the dimmer control (rotating
wheel on the bottom of the switch) is rotated to the far right
detent position. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote
Keyless Entry, and the unlock button is pushed on the key
fob, the courtesy and dome lights will turn on. When a
door is open, and the interior lights are on, rotating the
dimmer control all the way left, to the off detent, will cause
all the interior lights to go out. This is also known as the

mode because it allows the doors to stay open for
extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle’s
battery.
The brightness of the instrument panel as well as the
ambient lighting can be regulated by rotating the dimmer
control right (brighter) or left (dimmer). When the head-
lights are on you can supplement the brightness of the
odometer, trip odometer, radio and overhead console by
rotating the control to the right until you hear a click. This
feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when
headlights are required during the day.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen, the
dimming of the touchscreen is programmable through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings ” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further details.
