instrument panel brightness.

Brightness level indicator
The brightness level is shown on the multi-
information display while you are adjusting it.
As the brightness level increases to the right,
the instrument panel gets brighter.
1 Brightness Control
Instrument panel brightness varies, depending on
whether the exterior lights are on or off. The
instrument panel dims to reduce glare when they are
on.
Pressing the (SEL/RESET) knob or the
(display/information) button switches the display.
If you turn the knob to the right until the brightness
display is up to max, the beeper sounds. This cancels
the reduced instrument panel brightness when the
parking lights are on.
The brightness can be set differently for when the
exterior lights are on, and when they are off.
