Default Center display not showing squat, not typical failure

I had the dimming issue with my center display that I had replaced around a year ago. Just this weekend I loaned the car to a relative for the day, and now all the display shows is the gear selection. No radio or climate information. I know the display works because if I press in the tab it does cycle through the test information, then shows the yellow OK, then back to nothing. I am assuming it is just a setting to bring the stuff back but I see nothing in the manual. Can anyone help?

It sounds as if the reset button on the wiper stalk was hit by mistake. Try pressing the button with the engine running, the entire display should reappear.

Default Yup. Try hitting the button on the underside of the stalk.

That should do it.
