Hey all,

I’ve found in the dash setting auto dimming is on. However it’s yet to actually do this.

anyone got an insight to this option. I know understand it may not dim every time and it doesn’t take the task from the driver but just once to show it’s operational would be nice 😂🤣😂

    I've seen my dash dimming going into and out a tunnel. Generally see green lights on indicator dimming if happen to have side lights on.

    Auto dimming reduces the brightness of the cluster lighting when its dark, it isn't auto dipped beam. Is this what you were expecting?

    I'm glad this was clarified, 'auto dimming' could be applied to so many items, courtesy lights, rear view mirrors (interior and exterior), instrument panel, puddle lights, main beam to dipped beam, the OP was a bit vague LOL
