    I was driving tonight in a terrible rain storm for app 2 1/2 hours in the dark. I wear contacts, and one of them was killing me, and I turned off the MFD screen to keep the glare out of that eye. Now I can't turn the screen back on. I hit display and that didn't work. I hit the button below that and I got the climate control screen to come on, but it blacked out after maybe 15 to 20 seconds.

    How do I fix this?

    Thanks

    Press one of the buttons alongside the MFD. I don't recall if it's the Menu button, or one on the other side, but try them all. One of them will bring it back to life.

    Or any of the steering wheel buttons on the right side brings it back to life. I like the easy questions.
