CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
When replacing the combination meter assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a combination meter assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.
HINT:
- The meter illumination level can be adjusted by pressing the light control rheostat switch.
- The meter illumination dims when the taillights are turned on.
- Setting the meter illumination level to maximum brightness cancels the above dimming of the meter illumination.
