    Can anyone tell me how to dim the dash lights on my newly purchased 2017 Prius4? It should be simple but I can't figure it out. Maybe I should be asking"can you dim the lights?"

    Under the steering wheel, to the left, there should be light control. 2016-12-11 21_06_56-Prius Owner Manual USA OM47B39U.pdf - SumatraPDF.jpg

    It might depend which part of the world you live - mine is different from BOOKE02's.

    Mine is accessed via the menu - look in the index in the MANUAL for "Instrument Cluster Light Control" to see which version you have.

    I love my 2005 Prius. I have no real problems nor complaints. I have been looking at the Prius 4 because it has the display on the windshield. I am not interested in the sound systems. I am interested in the Safty features and overall mileage. currently, i get (on average) 45 mpg. when looking at the P4 online I am confused with the different packages. Can someone please let me know the package(s) for the heads-up display, auto braking, lane assist, and blind spot. thanks

    I don't know the packages in USA - but, the Heads Up Display (HUD) is great. I generally need multi-focal glasses to read the instruments and distance, but the HUD is in the distance, so I don't need the reading section of my glasses for normal driving, much easier.
