    That wouldn't be so bad, but you can't minimize the nag screen which takes up half the cluster. There are lights too, that light up, so I can't see why it shouldn't be an option. I like that screen. :)

    I wonder if there is a parameter somewhere that can be set, or a secret button sequence..... :)

    And, in another snow-related matter, you can see what the visibility out the rear window is like, by size of the heating grid. Not too huge, lol.

    And I believe the Michelin X-Ices did give some additional traction, even after the plows slushed things up with the salt. I live on a town road on a hill, ie, not so quick on the plow/salt/dirt, so they were good for sure there.

    Maybe you can resolve some of these problems if there's settings in Toyota Techstream?
