Hello,

Just got an hs250h loaner for a couple days as the primary car is in for warranty work.

At night, the NAV screen is just superbright (white background/black text) and doesn't go to "night mode." Went through the entire menu and didn't see anywhere to adjust the screen brightness level or to enable "black background/white text" for night driving.

The loaner didn't have the instruction manual, so just wondering if there is a way to adjust the screen brightness? Thanks for anyones input

Though I havent noticed this on the HS per se, it should be the same as other lexus cars. Next to the ODO button, there should be a **** to adjust brightness of the interior background lighting. It is probably turned to the max (full clockwise position). Just dial it back until just before the "click"

This should dim the instrument cluster a bit for nighttime driving as well as the nav brightness should decrease. If you want to make the nav have the black background, then with the headlights on, you have to go into "display" to turn on night mode.

By the remote touch controller, you'll find the DISP button. Your screen brightness settings are there.

I drove a loaner HS250h for a few days, and the navigation screen did auto-dim in the night. So, the feature is in there, somewhere.

Thank you! That's exactly it...didn't even see the DISP button on the bottom.....

Speaking of lighted controls, it is annoying that the seat memory buttons (on driver side door) and the garage door opener buttons (on the mirror) are not lighted. I understand most people don't use these buttons unless after they come to a stop, but am wondering if I missed any controls/options anywhere that allow these buttons to light up when the rest of the dash is lighted up.

The memory seat buttons on my IS F and my previous GS350 were not lighted. Same goes for the home link buttons integrated into the rear view mirror of my -09 ISF, previous 07 GS350 and the visor mounted homelink on my 04 IS300, they were not lighted.

I requested a HS as a loaner for my LS's maintainence service in about 10 days, so I will finally get to drive it for the first time ...
