Adjusting the brightness of a 2010 Jeep Commander’s dash lights can be tricky to figure out—but not impossible! The dash lights and interior lights on a 2010
Jeep Commander
can be affected by your headlight settings. When your headlights are set to auto, you can rotate the center portion of the multifunction lever to adjust the brightness of your dashboard lights.
When your headlights are turned to off, the dashboard lights will be lit at their lowest level, which could make it difficult to read at night.
However, if your Jeep Commander dash lights seem to be flashing or flickering, this could be a warning sign that your alternator is starting to go bad. If your problem doesn’t seem related to your headlights, it’s a good idea to have your mechanic take a look to see whether there’s a more serious issue at play.
