Does any one know if the brightness of the digital dash and the infotainment screen can be adjusted up and down ?

 I looked there earlier and couldn't see anything relevant. nor could I see any reference to it in the online manual.

Sorry to be thick, but could you give me a tutorial please ?

Smashing, thankyou. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Had a further look today and discovered that I had been in the right place yesterday, but I didn't know about the lights having to be on. Why is it so complicated ?????

I have now increased the brightness in settings, but I can't tell if it's worked in daylight.

You do it at night when dark so you can set to your preference no good doing it in daylight
