'only the heating and ventilation controls are backlit'

This will be fun off-road at night....

'Engineers say the Grenadier will meet forthcoming ADAS requirements for active steering assistance by putting slight braking force through individual front wheels; the hydraulically assisted steering box can’t be electrically controlled.'

I was wondering how they were going to implement the active steering.

Here are pics I have at night:

The controls seem sufficiently backlit to me. Maybe something was wrong with the panel-lighting in the car driven by this reviewer.

 

[Stu_Barnes]

Perhaps they had the dimmer turned low.

Glad the instruments and controls are nice and bright.

I hope we can change the colour of that backlighting... white light sucks at night. Prefer an amber colour, easier on the eyes.

Nail polish works

Isn’t there mood lighting? I’m sure I saw it mentioned. Perhaps it changes the colour of the switchgear backlight as well?

I "suspect" the white might change colour when the switch is activated....

Are the instrument lights dimmable?

Are the instrument lights dimmable?

Don't know for sure but I would be damned surprised if they weren't

it will be one LED behind each button. They will for sure not be RGB LED. So to change the colour you would have to exchange the LED.

Even modern digital cameras fail with colors if the light / dark contrast is too high. The highlights then look almost always white.

Are the instrument lights dimmable?

One of the reviewers said yes, but that it took four touches to do so. Sorry - no idea which review I saw that in.
