Brightness control issue when auto / night mode starts - 0-90% is dim but 100% is fully bright

Hi guys, I have a 2024 Ariya Evolve 63kW (planned to get it for months, I love it - fantastic car). However I have noticed one small issue I am hoping is just not Nissan thinking this is the way.

So as you know, we have a manual/auto brightness control of the left infotainment screen that works fine and on the right (speedometer), we have the manual button which also control the lights on the climate, doors, center console etc. The issue is, that during the day it is fine - it has brightness control that works or doesnt bother me because its bright but once its getting dark and the auto night / light sensors kick in, it goes very dim. Even at the second to last option (what would be 95%), its dim but once you go to 100%, its fully on bright / maximum LED - which is not great in the dark.

There doesn't seem to be a clear flow from low to high, more like low, sort of low and BRIGHT. Has anyone else got this issue or know a fix / workaround for it? Am hoping its not a part needed. Thanks!



TLDR; The buttons have about 10 levels of brightness, 1 through 10. The buttons seem to have two modes, 1-9 (very low to low dark) and 10 (super bright)

Well thats a kick in the teeth, thanks for confirming its not just me. It does seem more bug that feature, it scales correctly during the day (without adjusting climate lights etc) but not a night.

I have emailed Nissan about the next OTA update, hoping to get some information at all.

This is not a flaw or issue in itself but a design choice from Nissan.

At night the smooth selectable range available is supposedly only the part that goes from 0% to 95%, what they have done in addition to that range is to have a fail safe feature in case the light sensor gets damaged or broken in a "always night state" to bypass the 0-95% range and put it on full brightness to still being able to read the display at day, even when the broken light sensor thinks it's at night.

So when you have understood the thinking of this fail safe feature the problem that you're complaining isn't the "not smooth brightness from 95% to 100%" but the not enough brightness on the second half of the 0-95% range which is the intended usable range.

In my Ariya the 95% on both displays is perfect for me luckily.
