Overhead Console: Operation: Notes

There is a STEP button to display the compass/temperature, and can be read in either F° or C°. When the vehicle is first turned ON, you may select to have the overhead console:

Blank display
Compass/Temperature displayed in Fahrenheit
Compass/Temperature displayed in Celsius

To put the compass/temperature in the F° display, press the STEP button once. To put the compass/temperature in the C° display, press the STEP button twice. A third press of the STEP button will return it to the blank display.

The overhead console reading and courtesy lamps operate on battery current that is provided at all times, regardless of the ignition switch position. The ground feed for the lamps is switched through the integral reading and courtesy lamp switches or through the door jamb switches.

All reading and courtesy lamps located in the overhead console are activated by the door jamb switches. When all of the doors are closed, these lamps can be individually activated by depressing the corresponding lens. When any door is open, depressing the lamp lenses to activate the lamp switches will not turn the lamps off.

Each light is turned ON by pressing the lens. Press the lens a second time to turn the light OFF. The lights also come ON when a door is opened or the dimmer switch is turned fully upward, past the second detent.

NOTE: The lights will remain ON until the switch is pressed a second time, so be sure they have been turned OFF before leaving the vehicle. They will not turn OFF automatically.
