On certain vehicles equipped with an exterior lights test switch, pressing the switch while the vehicle is in motion will cause all exterior lighting to be turned off. An unexpected loss of lighting during vehicle operation could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the vehicle to disable the exterior lights test switch.
