Panel Dimmer

Operation of the panel dimmer switch, with the side lamps on, will alter the level of panel illumination between approximately 6 and 94%. Depressing the switch momentarily will cause the illumination to increase or decrease to the next level. Holding the switch closed will cause the illumination to ramp towards fully on or fully off.

The illumination level selected will be stored in the BeCM's non-volatile memory whenever the driver's seat store sequence is completed successfully, provided the side lamp switch is on. If the side lamp switch is not on and a successful memory store sequence is completed, then the previously stored illumination level will remain unchanged.
