To allow smooth access to such elements as operating knobs for power window switches (23) and a door lock switch (24) provided in a unit panel (13) in the night time lighting condition, the entire surface of an escutcheon panel (20) mounted on the unit panel (13) is defined as a switch operating part for an illuminating lamp (70) which illuminates the elements to be accessed. The illuminating lamp (70) may be lighted up for a prescribed time period to illuminate the escutcheon panel (20) when the switch operating part is touched so that unnecessary consumption of electric power may be avoided. The escutcheon panel (20) may be made of at lease semi-transparent plastic so that light from an illuminating lamp (70) placed behind the escutcheon panel (20) may be transmitted through the escutcheon panel (20). Alternatively, the element to be accessed such as a switch knob mounted on the escutcheon panel (20) may be made of at lease semi-transparent plastic so that illuminating light may be transmitted therethrough. <IMAGE> |
