    The Prius (and more historically Saab) used to have a near blackout mode which shut off interior lights and dash indicators, basically only leaving the indicator that shows your headlights are on. It was wonderful to drive with the blackout mode and just have your eyes perfectly adjusted to the light outside the cabin.

      I drive a lot of retro cars and can say that while there usually wasn’t a dedicated mode you could turn down or off all of the interior lights. For example my 2001 Jeep Cherokee it’s just turning the light knob (same applies for the '91) as for my 2001 Toyota Tacoma it’s a matter of turning the dedicated knob that’s funnily enough the same spot as the one on the Cherokee.
