Light-emitting diodes LEDs

Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These
light-emitting diodes, which operate using a
concept similar to that applied in conventional
lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-
emitting diodes.

Do not remove the covers or expose the
eyes directly to the unfiltered light source

for several hours at a time, as this could cause
irritation to the retina.
