    I never used the headlight before.
    Last night, I turned on my headlight, All the indicators like MPG indicators, EV,HV modes , etc. disappeared.
    Of course, it doesn't matter for my driving this PIP.

    Anyone have similar issue?

    The instrument panel is dimmer in the dark (i.e. when the headlights are on) to preserve night vision. The brightness is controlled by a dial to the left of the steering wheel and you probably have the dial on a low setting. See pg. 260 of the Owner's Manual for details.
