PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK ILLUMINATION CONTROLLED BY RHEOSTAT SWITCH |
(a) Perform the following procedure and check that the illumination controlled by the rheostat switch illuminates properly.
(1) If the vehicle is in a bright area, move it to a dark area.
HINT:
When the vehicle is in a bright area, the switch illumination may not turn on due to the auto dimmer function.
(2) If the light control switch is in the AUTO position, turn the switch to the tail or head position.
HINT:
If the light control switch is in the AUTO position, the switch illumination will not turn on unless the surrounding area is dark.
| Result | Proceed to |
