Steering wheel instrumentation.

[Shotleyboy]

Hi, I have a newly acquired 300h Premium Edition withwhich I am very pleased.  However, I find the level of lighting on the steering wheel mounted control buttons to be poor. I’ve looked to see if there is a way to change the setting but have so far failed. Can anyone help here? Thanks!

It's even worse on the window, folding mirror and door lock controls on the driver's door, only last night l had to use my phone's light to sort out a 'window open' message. Another one of the niggles that you wouldn't expect on such a car.

There is a set of buttons to the left of the steering with up and down arrows which can be used to change the brightness for instruments.

Have you tried that already ?

Can l ask what model year 300h Premium edition this is as mine doesn't have these buttons?

They are next to the mileometer button for scrolling through the trip distance menus, I would be surprised if your car didn’t have them

Was about to say the same. Likely they are obscured by the turn signal stalk.

Well! I'll go to the foot of our stairs! Every two weeks for the last 12 months I've cleaned that dash panel and never seen those buttons. Lit up like a jumbo jet now, thanks very much. What a Wally l am.

Hi, it’s a 23 version and I didn’t see them firstly as they are badly positioned.
