Changing the Display Color Mode on a Garmin Automotive Device

Your automotive device can switch between Day and Night color modes for better visibility in certain lighting conditions.

To Adjust the Color Mode:

  1. Open the device's Settings menu 
  2. Touch Display
  3. Touch Theme
  4. Touch the desired color mode

The device will now use the chosen color mode.

The following color modes are available:

  • Day - Provides a white background to improve visibility during daylight hours
  • Night - Darkens the background to prevent the screen from being too bright or distracting when driving in the dark
  • Automatic - Allows the device to automatically change the color mode based on sunrise and sunset times. This is the default color mode setting
