RV was included in 20V-404. DTNA tested my vehicle on 7/29/2019 and said it did not need a PDM.

I have inquired several times with the local Freightliner center and ...

BLINDING INSTRUMENT DISPLAY. UNABLE TO REDUCE BRIGHTNESS TO A LESS THEN BLINDING OUTPUT AT NIGHT. DANGEROUS LOSS OF NIGHT VISION REQUIRES THE DISPLAY TO BE COVERED MAKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS IS AT ALL OPERATING SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS.
Mileage: 1,000
THE DASH LIGHTING IS NOT DIMMABLE TO ANY MEANINGFUL EXTENT. ALTHOUGH IT HAS A DIMMING FUNCTION, THIS ONLY OPERATES IN THE VERY BRIGHT END OF THE RANGE. (THAT IS TO SAY EVEN THE DIMMEST SETTING IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT.) NOW WREN I DRIVE AT NIGHT I PLACE A TINTED FILM OVER THE DASHBOARD SO THE BRIGHTNESS ...

I HAVE PLACED A DARK FILM OVER THE DISPLAY FOR NIGHT DRIVING AFT...
Mileage: 4,000
THE FREIGHTLINER DIGITAL DASH IS TOO BRIGHT FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN DOWN THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAY ENOUGH TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAY RUINS NIGHT VISION. IT CAN BE ADJUSTED, BUT NOT NEARLY DIM ENOUGH TO MAKE IT USABLE AT NIGHT.
Mileage: 250
