No matter what setting I have the exterior lights on, except off, the dash illumination seems to be very sensitive to the slight changes of lighting outside the car during morning and early evening commutes. Like I said if I go under the shade of a tree, the dash lights will dim slightly, thinking it's getting dark outside, then when I come out of the shade, the dash lights will get brighter. It does drive me a little crazy, because it will draw my eyes off the road. It is a little distracting for me. I guess some might find it distracting some won't. Like it was mentioned, the dealer can adjust it. I was just wondering if someone already had it done. Thanks for all your comments!
When I go under bridges the same thing happens... You either need to turn on or turn off the lights, the AUTO setting tries to sense what you want to see, but it isn't smart enough to figure that you're just going under a 100ft wide bridge.

The sensitivity setting may help, but then again you might be upset that the auto lights don't come on until it's well past o'dark-thirty.
