Seriously do not get this car
something is so wrong about this car.. when i drive it at day it is okay but at night the dashboard is dim and the navigation isn't bright blue it is dim blue like dark blue.. i do not know if it is the alternator or battery.. i went to the mechanic and autozone and they said nothing was wrong with both and they even tested both of them.. IT IS SO WEIRD!

Is this a joke post? There's a dimmer switch for the interior lights and the Navigation system has a setting so it dims when you turn on your lights. You can disable it by pressing "setup" and then clicking "Day time" on the menu which will cause the Navi screen to brighten up again.
But yeah seriously, if you don't want to read the manual and figure these things out for yourself ... don't get this car. You'd be better off buying a bicycle.

Above your left knee toward the bottom of the dash, there's a little knob on there. It controls the brightness of the gauges, navigation and whatnot.
Try adjusting that.
If that's not the problem, and you're saying that the lights keep dimming up and down on their own, then do a voltage test. You may need to replace your battery or the alternator.
The car's fine. Even with HID foglights, headlights, and a 600-watt system blasting away, mine didn't dim. It's just a minor problem -- there's no need to say "don't get this car, oh my god, the world is going to end."

1) turn your headlights off...
2) there is a dimmer control switch...
3) there is a setting in the nav to control brightness...
You don't know how your car works and then tell everyone NOT to get one?
Total ignorance.
Why don't you read through the manual and learn that the armrest can be slid forward? How about that trunk lock in the glovebox? Did you know there is a secret key hole for the trunk as well?
The last one is a joke, but seriously, stop saying
when you don't know much.and AsianRage, check ur pts again.
