    Hey all,

    Noticed some display goofiness this morning. I turned the headlights on, but the display was dark, like the car wasn't moving or anything. I assured my son that maybe it just had to "warm up" for I also had the blue radiator logo. After that logo went off, the screen came on and acted like normal.

    So, my question is, is this behavior normal, or symptomatic of something going awry with the screen?

    Other than that, I have no issues, and am going to the gas station after work today for the first time, and I've been driving it since Tuesday (it didn't have even half a tank when I picked it up.)

    Check the display brightness control to the lower left of the dash.

    Found it! What does the click (all the way up) position supposed to do? On GM types of cars, that usually turns on all of the internal illumination (dome lights.)

    When you engage the "Click" switch it makes the dash display FULL brightness. It's Very Bright!!!
    It also wll take the map display from the night mode to the daytime mode. It's too brght for me, besides I like the map in Night mode!!!
