INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WERE BLACKED OUT IN DAY TIME FROM START UP AND FOR DURATION OF DRIVE APROXIMATE 2 HOURS. RESTARTING HAD NO EFFECT, TURNING LIGHTS ON AND OFF HAD NO EFFECT ON DASH DISPLAY. BRIGHTNESS OF DISPLAY IS CONTROLLED THROUGH INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY WHICH WAS NOT VISIBLE. AFTER 20 MINUTE SHUTDOWN AND RESTART DISPLAY WAS NORMAL AGAIN. CHECKING DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS SETTING, IT WAS NORMAL. i RESET IT TO VERY HIGH. 1 HR LATER WHILE DRIVING DISPLAY DIMMED AND BRIGHTENED REPEATEDLY OVER 5 MINUTE DURATION, THEN WENT DARK AGAIN FOR DURATION OF DRIVE, BUT DUE TO RESET OF BRIGHTNESS I COULD DIMMLY SEE SPEEDOMETER READING. PERHAPS IF I HAD A BLANKET TO COVER DISPLAY WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT MAY HAVE BEEN VISIBLE BUT JUST EXTREMELY DIM. DURING THIS CONDITION BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY ALSO BLACK.
