Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Instrument panel lighting fails to dim properly at night causing difficulty seeing at night due to the brightness of the display. I am able to get the display to be tricked into going into "night mode" if the display light sensor has no light at vehicle startup with headlights on. At any time if the sensor is exposed to light again such as if a door is opened or interior light is turned on the vehicle needs to be stopped, doors locked, and sitting for one minute for the workaround to be successful again. |
