Navigation - Night Mode

[mnekaw3]

I can't figure out why when I turn my headlights on, the map on the navigation system won't switch over to "night mode".

Is anyone else having this problem or do you know what I could be missing?

nav night mode

I had this problem. Check the dash light switch. If it's turned all the way until it clicks, the nav won't switch to night mode. If you back it off just before it clicks, it should work fine./

Not sure on exactly how the nav is setup on the 5th. But on my Camry and 4Runner, pressing 'Display' button on the nav when the light switch turned to parking light or low beam, there will be an option for "Day Mode". Switch that option off and map colors should inverse.

The nav color (white - daytime or black - night time) is not dependent on your headlights... its controlled by an interior light sensor (like the one that automatically turns your headlights on). When I drive in rain, I typically turn the headlights on and the nav screen doesn't change to black. I agree with heygenius - sounds like your dash lights are set to their highest setting and you seem need to move the tumble switch back a bit.

Except that, *my* screen enters night mode when I turn on *my* head lights, if the dimmer switch isn't all the way up and the display isn't forcing day mode. Which means it IS dependent on *my* headlights.

There is a difference between trim levels that extends to the electronics and people need to take that into account before making declarative statements.

(2014) My problem is that when traveling, I often will run with my headlights on. In my case, the nav screen will go to "night mode" with headlights on and bright sunlight. Then I can hardly see anything on the screen. The only time it will stay in "day mode" is if just the DRL are on.

Also have a 2014 Rav and the screen stays in "day" mode even if the headlights are on..................???

Is there a "display" button or icon? You can check "day mode" when the headlights are on. Or, I'm sure it's in your owners manual.

This is your answer. I had the same problem the first night I had mine.

I did find it........."Settings", "Display", "General", The turn the headlights on.
The display will then show "day" or "night" mode. It will only show with the headlights "on", otherwise the mode will not be shown.

In doing this, you have the option to always have the nav screen display in night mode?
