^ Dimming:
All radios feature continuously dimmable nighttime incandescent backlighting for the graphics on the pushbuttons and trimplate. The incandescent backlighting voltage is supplied from the vehicle light switch. The internal lamps are returned to battery (-) through the vehicle low side Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) dimmer control circuit.
The LCD display is backlit whenever ignition voltage is applied regardless if the radio power knob is on or off. When the vehicle's exterior lights are turned on, the Interior Lights knob, which is found to the left of the steering wheel, can be turned to adjust the illumination of the radio. Turning the knob clockwise makes the light get brighter, while turning the knob counter-clockwise results in the light being dimmer.
