Dashboard Illumination

(Without auto-light control)

When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination is
dimmed.

(With auto-light control)

When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination is
dimmed. However, when the light sensor
detects that the surrounding area is bright
such as when the position lights are turned
on in the daytime, the dashboard
illumination does not dim.

NOTE

•

(With auto-light control)

When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard
illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects the
brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimmer may cancel after
the brightness is detected.

•

When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-74.

The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob.

•

The brightness decreases by rotating the
knob to the left. A beep sound will be
heard when the knob has been rotated to
the maximum dim position.

•

The brightness increases by rotating the
knob to the right.

The illumination dimmer can be canceled
by rotating the dashboard illumination
knob to the right until a beep sound is
heard while the instrument cluster is
dimmed with the ignition switched ON. If
the instrument cluster's visibility is
reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.

NOTE

•

The illumination dimmer can be
canceled by pressing the dashboard
illumination knob.

•

When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights are
turned on.

•

When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the screen in the center
display switches to constant display of
the daytime screen.
