When driving in sunlight, the light coming in the windows makes it very difficult to view the panel. About the only thing I can see are the big numbers on the speedometer display. At night or on cloudy days I see everything clearly. I have thought about cutting out a strip of cardboard extending beyond the top of the panel to block some of the glare. I wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem, and, if so, how they have resolved. it. The service personnel at the dealer had no ideas.
I'm not too impressed either. Soon after we got our's, about a year back, were driving in bright sun with wet roads bouncing the light back up. Could not see the dash, did not have a clue how fast I was going... That and the fact that it's centred, as opposed to being in front of the driver: the instrument panel is weak suit of this car. Sorry, no tips, just commiserating
