Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Illumination Control
The unified meter control unit outputs the combination meter and triple meter dial lighting when the ignition switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, light on for the trip computer switch, illumination control switch and external lighting are output. In addition, when the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch on the left side of the combination meter can be used to adjust the brightness of each light. Pressing the illumination control switch will brighten or darken the lights. When the ignition switch is in the START position, the combination meter and triple meter dial lighting and the trip computer switch and illumination control switch lighting are turned off.
