| Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated, the instrument panel does not have enough illumination to clearly see the readings in daylight hours. The lack of illumination in the instrument panel defers concentration from the road, when viewing displayed information. The dealer was informed of the problem who determined the only solution was to turn up the brightness on the instrument panel to full, which had already done. The dealer offered no other solution.
