Instrument Lights

[brimar]

:o I have a new Yaris 1.3 T3 Spirit automatic. When the headlights are put on, the digital instument readout goes dim. Whilst I can understand this from a glare point of view, it is no use when the lights have to be put on in bad weather for example and I can only just about see the speedo. There is no meantion of this dimming in the handbook. Is there a way of controlling the brightness of the digital readout?

Cheers me dears

Yup! Just press the button in front of the display that toggles mph/kph. It also changes the display (bright/dim).

Just make sure you practise when stopped. Don't want you travelling around with a km per hour readout (unless that's what you want!).

Personally, I prefer the brighter display to be on even at night in town. That dimmer display is better on unlit country roads though.

Thanks for that, why doesn't the handbook tell us this?

Cheers

I had the same problem until a month or so ago...I thought it was me going mad when the display was going dim..I have the bright display on whenever I put the lights on now
