Honda HR-V: Brightness Control

When the ignition switch is in ON (II)*1, you can use the (select/reset) knob to
adjust instrument panel brightness.

Brighten: Turn the knob to the right.

Dim: Turn the knob to the left.

You will hear a beep when the brightness reaches minimum or maximum. The information display will return to its original state several seconds after you adjust the brightness.

■ Brightness level indicator

Operating the Switches Around the Steering Wheel


Instrument panel brightness varies, depending on whether the exterior lights are on or off. The instrument panel dims to reduce glare when they are on.

Pressing the knob switches
the display between the brightness level and other available information.

If you turn the knob to the right until the brightness display is up to max, the beeper sounds. This cancels the reduced instrument panel brightness when the parking lights are on.

The brightness can be set differently for when the exterior lights are on, and when they are off.

*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an ignition switch.

NOTICE

When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful not to damage the heating wires.

It is critical to wipe the window from side to side along the defogger heating wires.

This system consumes a lot of power, so turn it off when the window has been defogged.

Also, do not use the system for a long period when the engine is idling. This may weaken the battery, making it difficult to start the engine.
