I don't understand your answer - what does the instrument panel have to do with the steering wheel controls? Gary Eickmeier Why is the lighting on the steering wheel so dim? Can anything be done about it? From the way you worded it, it sounded like the steering wheel itself, not the controls! I thought you were referring to the lack of backlighting that the Prius instrument cluster didn't provide. |
but yes, I could have worded it better. Just thought maybe it was such a
well-known problem that it would be clear enough.
From the responses, sounds like what my friend said is true - we're
supposed to learn braille to do it. I suppose I could learn it that way,
but what the hay...

Well, there is generally not provided illumination on steering wheels, but yes, I could have worded it better. Just thought maybe it was such a well-known problem that it would be clear enough.

My LHS has NO illumination for the Cruise Control. It does have raised bumps for "On" and "set". I never drove a Prius at night, except for the "Classic" (1999) that didn't have the controls on the wheel. How long have you had the car? I'm sure you'll become accostumed to it in no time! |
on the steering wheel, and it was absolutely necessary to be able to
read the buttons at night. My new Ford Freestar has no problem with it.
If they bothered to illuminate the buttons, why not do it right?

A few days. I had a Pontiac Transsport that had complete radio controls on the steering wheel, and it was absolutely necessary to be able to read the buttons at night. My new Ford Freestar has no problem with it. If they bothered to illuminate the buttons, why not do it right? Gary Eickmeier The Pontiac was illuminates in red, right? I think that is the best color to illuminate things with. Very easy to see at night. |
it not only makes instruments easy to see but doesn't tend to
ruin your 'night vision'
