Brightness Control
When the ignition switch is in ON 
, you can use the (select/reset) knob to adjust instrument panel brightness.
Brighten: Turn the knob to the right. Dim: Turn the knob to the left.
You will hear a beeper when the brightness reaches minimum or maximum. Several seconds after you have adjusted the brightness, you will be returned to the previous screen.
The brightness of the instrument panel will be reduced when the following conditions:
- The ignition switch is in ON
Models without automatic lighting control
- The parking lights are turned on.
Models with automatic lighting control
- The light switch is in any position other than off and it is dark outside.
To cancel the reduced instrument panel brightness when the exterior lights are on, turn the knob to the right until the brightness display is up to max, the beeper sounds. The brightness can be set differently for when the exterior lights are on, and when they are off.

Models with climate control system
The rear defogger and heated door mirrors* automatically switch off after 10-30 minutes depending on the outside temperature.
