This module allows you to individually
set the STREET MODE and TRACK
MODE display background colors to
black or white for both day and night
settings. A photo sensor equipped in
the instrument panel detects lighting
conditions and will automatically
change the display between its day
and night settings. The photo sensor
also controls a subtle automatic bright-
ness adjustment function within both
day and night modes to suit ambient
light conditions.
To set the wallpaper
1. From the MENU screen, select
“Wallpaper”. 2. Select the mode you want to ad-
just (select DAY for daytime dis-
play settings or NIGHT for
nighttime display settings).
3. Select the background color (se- lect “BLACK” for a black back-
ground or “WHITE” for a white
background). 4. Select the triangle symbol to exit.
5. To set another background color,
repeat from step 2 or select the tri-
angle symbol to exit this module.
