In praise of stealth mode

[T.O.Blackwing]

I thought this little-known feature was a gimmick, but found it relaxing to be able to turn down the lights to just the essentials during parts of a long and sometimes arduous winter drive back to Toronto from Quebec last night.

I love it too. I don’t drive long distances often, but when I do it’s preferably at night. Throw on some tunes, turn on stealth mode and it’s the best experience for me and the significant other sleeping in the passenger seat lol

I have a two year old CTV-4 Blackwing but I've never heard of a "stealth" mode, could you inform me and if one exists to where this is discussed in the owner's manual. Thanks

Turn the knob for the dash illumination all the way down. The touch pad screen goes dark & the only thing you see is the speedo on the dash.

Thank you, the sweaty things is funny,

Speedo, minimalist fuel gauge and tach, current gear (yellow if rev match is on) in a very small font, currently relevant idiot lights (like headlamps “on”, and high beams on auto), is the sum of it, if I remember correctly.
You also continue to see whatever you’ve configured on your heads-up display.
All legible enough for cruising, and none of it casting much light into the cabin.
All else is darkness.
Like, all.

Just like Night Panel in a Saab.

I haven’t actually used it aside from just a minute or two while fiddling around. Does it affect the ambiance lighting at all? Seems like it’d enhance the effect if the cabin is darker, but I seem to remember it turning those lights off too which is why I haven’t used it. I like the cool tones while cruising at night.

ambient lighting is off, too, it’s almost funereal, but in a cool way
