Ok, in that case mine has an issue. All dials lit except the sports chrono. I will get it checked. Thanks

Update.

There wasn't a fault. I found in my manual that the chrono clock light can be deactivated. A simple tick option solved the issue.

That's good. I had a feeling that was the case but hadn't had a chance to to check the manual.

You'll see from a number of posts on here that members often jump to the conclusion that there is a fault when frequently all that is needed is a glance at the manual. But many members admit they don't read the manual, or don't even know where it is!

I know that reading a manual is not high on many owners' list of priorities. Most people just want their car to work!

Why would anyone want to turn the illumination on the clock off while keeping all the other dials lit?? Each to their own I guess.

Less distraction maybe? I for one find the PCM screen way too bright at night, so I select the 'car' option which is mostly black.

Agreed, and it all gets reflected on the screen at night.
