A bright screen of any kind can be a distraction at night, and the Sync 3 is no exception. To fix this, there\u2019s a number of included features to make sure this doesn\u2019t occur. In this blog post we\u2019ll teach you how to dim the Ford Sync 3 Screen. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Dim the Ford Sync 3 Screen for Night Driving<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, make sure that you\u2019re operating the Sync system safety while parked and not driving. Click on the settings icon in the lower right of the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. Then, swipe left to access the icons on the second page of Settings. Here you should find a Display icon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When in display settings you have three choices: brightness, mode and auto dim. To adjust what the screen is currently set at, tap on brightness where the screen\u2019s setting can be changed with a slider. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can also select mode, and choose between an auto, day, night and off setting. Tapping off will turn the Sync 3 screen completely off, so that it emits no light. If even a little light bothers you while driving, this is likely the solution that you\u2019ll want to use. Tapping the screen while it is off will bring it back up. Auto dim will adjust the screen\u2019s brightness level based on the interior light settings. Below is a video that goes through the Display settings for Ford Sync 3 and other options! The video begins talking about brightness around the 1:20 mark if you want to just skip to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So now that you know how to dim the Ford Sync 3 Screen for night driving we suggest looking through our other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houstonford.com\/blog\/\">helpful blog posts<\/a> for other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houstonford.com\/blog\/category\/tips-tricks\/\">Tips and Tricks<\/a>.
