I rented a 2018 toyota sienna on a recent trip to hawaii. Unlike earlier sienna models (which had bolder, thicker labels for the indicators), the instrument panel was very faint and hard to read in daylight. In shade, it was almost invisible. I checked the manual to see if i could turn the brightness up, but it appears to have been designed this way. I'm concerned that not being able to see the instrument panel to…

Interior Lighting
Toyota sienna 2006 - repeated failure of fuse causing interior lights to not work. This is a safety hazard when entering the car at night as you cannot see the ignition nor anything else in the car. Fuse has been replaced by dealer and after each replacement, lights work temporarily & then the fuse blows. Online search on google shows many other sienna owners have same problem so this is not an isolate case. *tr
