2022 Jeep Renegade Owners Manual - Interior Lights



Interior Lights

The courtesy lights are mounted between the sun visors above the rearview mirror. The light switches are used to turn the lights on or off.

Driver’s Courtesy Lights

Courtesy Light Switches

1— Left Switch

2— Right Switch

To operate the courtesy lights, push either the driver or passenger light switch.

Note:

  • Before exiting the vehicle, make sure that the interior lights are turned off. This will prevent the battery from discharging once the doors are closed.

  • If a light is left on, it will automatically be turned off approximately 15 minutes after the ignition is in the OFF position.

  • DIMMER CONTROLS

    Rotate the ambient dimmer control upward or downward to increase or decrease the brightness of the ambient light located in the overhead console, door handle lights, lower instrument panel lights, door map pocket lights, and cubby bin lights.

    With the parking lights or headlights on, rotate the instrument panel dimmer control upward or downward to increase or decrease the brightness of the instrument panel. The instrument panel dimmer has two positions at the top of the thumb wheel. The first top detent position puts the interior lighting into daytime mode and the very top detent position illuminates all the interior lights. The bottom detent position of the instrument panel dimmer dims the internal backlights to their lowest dimmable setting and disables the interior lights.
