Driver Dash Digital Display Brightness
We have been spending time getting to know our 2025 GLE 450. I have been trying to figure out how to control the brightness of the drive’s digital display but have not been able to figure it out. I found the settings for the right side display brightness, ambient light brightness, and the brightness for all the controls at night (scowl wheel next to head light control.) What I cannot find is anyway to adjust the brightness of the driver digital display at night. Searched both in car and paper manual and did not find anything. Anyone else figure this out?
Thanks for any advice.

Will it be the same as the EQE? https://mbworld.org/forums/eqe-suv-x...rightness.html

Looks like they said the knob you mentioned also controls the screen so strange it doesn't work for you https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ms-normal.html

@mikapen Forum member mikapen, please help OP, thank you
On my '21 The scroll wheel by the light switch controls both the center screen and the instrument cluster equally.
There are adjustments under Settings to adjust the center screen brightness, independently of the scroll wheel, day/night/auto, but the scroll wheel still controls both.
Unless there are differences with the newer cars, the scroll wheel should control the cluster brightness.
I think.

I'll give it a shot.

Thanks Milapen, I thought that would do it as well but it only seems to control the brightness of the right side display for Nav/media/settings. Mine looks pretty much like what you show here.

I thought my display settings were the same as you show. On looking at it again I do not have the day/night settings, just the brightness slider. I will play around some more but I pretty sure I did not see any change on the driver’s display with any of the brightness settings in the system menu or scroll wheel beside the light control.
