CAUTION
The battery may be discharged and the engine

The hazard warning lamps may be used as a warn-
ing to other vehicles when you suddenly find it nec-

The lamps can flash in any of the starter switch

With the meter cluster lamps on, press and hold
either side of the switch to set the lamps to your
desired brightness, then release the switch.
NOTE:
The lamps can be brightened and dimmed only
within a fixed range. Pressing the rheostat control
switch after the lamps have brightened or dimmed
to the limit will have no effect.

tion.
CAUTION
Leaving the van body interior lighting on for an
extended period without the engine running can
drain the battery.
