power mode is in ON, you can use the
brightness control knob to adjust instrument
panel brightness.
Brighten: Turn the knob to the right.

reaches minimum or maximum. The
intelligent multi-information display (i-MID)
will return to its original state several seconds
after you adjust the brightness.
■Brightness level indicator
The brightness level is shown on the i-MID
while you are adjusting it.

the instrument panel gets brighter.
1 Brightness Control
Instrument panel brightne ss varies, depending on
whether the exterior lights are on or off. The
instrument panel dims to reduce glare when they are
on.
Pressing the (Select/Reset) knob or the
(display/information) button changes to a different
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.
