Illumination Control
The unified meter control unit outputs the odo/trip meter and A/T indicator lighting when the ignition switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, light on for the combination meter dial, 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. The brightness can be adjusted to sixteen different levels: From 0 (no lights) to 15 (maximum). Pressing the illumination control switch will brighten or darken the lights. When the ignition switch is in the START position, the combination meter dial lighting and illumination control switch lighting are turned off.
