Dash Display Dead With Headlights On

Created May 24, 2008, at 4:25 pm by jaybekay

The dash display (speedomoter, odometer, gear indicator, etc.) just stopped working last night when I put my headlights on. When I turn the headlights off, the display works normally. Anyone else run across this? I know I have to take it in, but I have to wait until the holiday weekend is over.

The above car is a 1-month old 2008, by the way.

Display has "day" and "night" brightness settings.

Is the "night" display setting set to zero brightness level?

Check the little wheel to the left of the steering wheel.

Thank you much! That's what I get for letting the 2-year-old play with the wheel. I thought he might've hit something, but then I wondered why there would be a button that would shut off the dashboard display. That's why I'm not an engineer.

Not to beat a dead horse...

but the Prius is NOT your average car. It has ALOT of features
not found in the normal Detroit product.

I know that 400 page owners manual looks a little intimidating, but
you REALLY need to read thru it. There are several "other" features that could bite you in the ....

Any, by the way. I AM an engineer.
