Lighting Controls

The lighting controls operate through switches located on the dash. Two types of dash switches are used:

• Paddle switches have a single paddle located in the center of the switch. The paddle can be raised or lowered to perform a function.

• Rocker switches can be pressed up or down to perform a function. Certain rocker switches are guarded to prevent them from being switched on or off accidentally.

When the panel lights are on, most switch legends are backlit with a colored light, usually green. This allows the driver to find the switch more easily in the dark. When the switch is on, the switch icon is normally backlit with a colored light, usually amber. Some switch icons are dead-fronted (not visible until the switch is turned on). When turned on, some switches are illuminated from within by a red or amber light-emitting diode (LED).
