Here's what the Canadian speedometer looks like at night. That blue blob on the right is the km/h illuminated (cell phone camera sucks big time).

I normally have the dash lighting turned down as low as it will go. I only cranked it up to get this picture of all the 2's

Look HERE for everything you want to know about the headliner LED and then some.

As your sig says, change is good. You will get used to the switch location.

Enough said!

We have this thread so that the manufacturer will make positive changes in future years based on this feedback. Hopefully, they will try to improve the vehicle year after year.

I have never owned a vehicle that did not have something I disliked. You can't satisfy everyone all the time. You must be the one exception!

The upholstery is so hard to keep clean also. I steam cleaned mine and the spots still didn't come out of the seats. I'm not sure how to get them really clean. But, if that happens, I'll invest in good seat covers!
