Tips
The instrument illumination (for dials and

on and the vehicle lights are turned off. As
the daylight fades, the illumination of the dials
likewise dims automatically and will go
out completely when the outside light is very
low. This feature is meant to remind you to
switch on the headlights when outside light
conditions become poor.
