The instrument cluster and cente r console

- USA mode ls: illumination of the instru-
ment cluster (gauges and needles), dash
and center console around the gearsh ift
lever is controlled by a light sensor locat-
ed in the instrument panel. The instru-
ment panel ill umination will automat i-
cally become dimmer as t he daylight
fades away and eventually will go out
complete ly when outside light is very
low. This is to rem ind you, the driver, to
switch on the headlights before it gets
too dark .
- Canada models: instr ument panel illumi -
nation will stay bright regardless of the
intensity of ambient light . Always be
aware of changes in outside light condi-
tions while you are driving. Respond in
time to fading daylight by tur ning the
light switch to position fD (or "AUTO" if
your car is equipped with this feature) to
t urn on you r headlights.
