especially high, the display may become
dim. This occurs to protect the display
and is not a malfunction. The brightness
will turn to normal when the temperature
inside the vehicle lowers.

brighter than others. This condition is an
inherent characteristic of liquid crystal
displays, and it is not a malfunction.

vent the display from screen burning.
