Ford Escape: Panel dimmer control
Use to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel and all applicable switches in the vehicle during headlamp and parking lamp operation.
• Move the control to the full
upright position, past detent, to
turn on the interior lamps.
• Rotate to full down position (past
detent) to prevent interior lamps
from illuminating when the doors are opened.
Note: If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is installed, the dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the dimmer switch from the full dim position to the full dome/on position to reset.
This will ensure that your displays are visible under all lighting conditions.
