1. Turn on the vehicle: Start your Ford Escape and allow it to run for a few moments to power up the electrical systems.
2. Locate the instrument cluster dimmer switch: In most Ford Escapes, the instrument cluster dimmer switch is located on the dashboard, usually near the steering wheel. It's typically a rotating knob or a series of buttons with "+" and "-" symbols.
3. Adjust the dimmer switch: Rotate the dimmer switch clockwise to increase the brightness of the dashboard lights or counterclockwise to decrease the brightness. Some vehicles may have a dedicated button to change the brightness level.
4. Select the color: If your Ford Escape has the option to change the dashboard light color, there may be a separate button or menu option for this. Look for a button labeled "Color" or "Theme," or access the settings menu through the vehicle's infotainment system.
5. Choose the desired color: If available, select the color you prefer from the options presented on the display. The color options may include white, blue, red, green, or other choices.
6. Confirm the changes: Once you've chosen the desired color, confirm the selection by pressing the "OK" or "Confirm" button. The dashboard light color should change accordingly.
7. Test the changes: Drive the vehicle in different lighting conditions to ensure that the new dashboard light color is visible and comfortable for your eyes.
Remember, the specific steps and options may vary depending on the model year and features of your Ford Escape. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a qualified automotive technician if you have any questions or concerns about changing the dashboard light color.
