Can you dim the dash lighting? 2009 2.4l 1SB option package

Post by newbluevibe »

Just wondering if I am missing the dimmer switch for the nice bright white dash lights. At times they seem pretty darn bright and cause some additonal eye fatigue when night driving,( which I generally avoid). Is there a dimmer and I am (dimwittedly) missing it?

You know the knob that you use on the dash for the trip meter and odometer reading?Turn it to desired setting, that is the dimmer switch.

If you look above the temp gauge you'll see the trip meter reset (push - odo/trip). It also acts as the dimmer, turn it to the lefty to turn it down and righty to turn it up. If you turn it all the way to the right it will click and be on full. When the lights are on it dims automatically unless it's fully on.Welcome to GenVibe BTW!!!
