NOTE:
- Check if the Day mode color is set to same as the Night mode color (refer to the navigation system manual).

- Full brightness on the instrument panel brightness control with the head lights turned on causes the system to stay in the day mode, even when the lights are on.
- Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is not on full brightness. Turn the headlights on, and adjust the dash brightness to the middle range.
- Change the day/night mode under Set-up to AUTO, and recheck.

YES -The system is OK at this time.
NO -Go to step 3.
- Go into the Diagnostic Menu, and use the Car Status test (see CAR STATUS ) to check for an ILL signal.
Is the ILL signal OK?
YES -Replace the audio-navigation unit (see AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
NO -Check the ILL+ circuit between the audio-navigation unit and the No. 29(10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
