Jeremy I’ll be flicking through the CR-V‘s manual again this afternoon, with one eye on Andy Murray‘s semi-final match at Wimbledon. I should point out that the Honda has the largest manual I’ve ever seen – a positive Encyclopaedia Britannica of facts that squeezes into the glovebox!

I’m hoping to find out how to switch off the two display screens on the EX – the one that packs the sat-nav screen, and the other above it that shows the on-board computer readings.

The two fit neatly into the dashboard and are easy to read when driving. My problem came last night when driving home in the dark, I thought there was a problem with the bi-xenon headlights. They didn’t appear bright enough on full beam and at one point, I actually stopped the car and got out to check there wasn’t an issue.

What it turned out to be was the glare from the two dashboard screens, which are so bright it affected my vision out of the car. Consequently, I need to find a way of dimming down the screens, or turning them off!

Otherwise, the CR-V has auto-dimming headlights, so there’s no need to dip when an oncoming vehicle approaches, sensors do it for you. The active-corning side lights also illuminate when you turn a sharp corner – great for getting into a tight gateway.

Hopefully, I’ll find the answer before Murray claims another famous victory…
