Parking Lights, Instrument Panel Lights and
Headlights

Turn the end of the multifunction lever to the first detent
for parking lights and instrument panel lights. Turn to
the second detent for headlight operation.

To change the brightness of the instrument panel lights,
rotate the center portion of the multifunction lever up or
down.

NOTE:

•

Lens fogging can occur under certain atmospheric
conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric
conditions change to allow the condensation to change
back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate the clearing process.

•

If the driver’s door is left open, and the headlights or
parking lights are left on, the high Beam Indicator
Light will remain illuminated and a chime will sound.

Lights-On Reminder

If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned OFF, a chime will sound when the driver’s door
is opened.
