d19yda Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 On the dash of my pride and joy I have a lovely switch which illuminates the clock on the dash where I could have a nice a/c switch instead..... What’s the point of this switch??? It’s the most useless thing about the car!! Anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sorry d I don't have that switch in any of my Roos including but not limited to a 2.5 RS, a VDC, several turbo Legs, multiBrats... Maybe a Euro option? Could you do a picture of said switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d19yda Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 I love everything about my car even the fuel consumption! lol its just that every time i take someone new out for a spin they all notice this switch as it is right in the middle of my dash. When they ask what its for i always get a chuckle when i they see the clock illuminate from green to a lighter shade of green. Must be a uk spec i cant help but think that they would have been better off saving a few gramms of weight. anyway on a lighter subject it gets a laugh every time i press it!!

Setright Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 We've got 'em over here in Denmark, too! They used to be more useful, and co-ordinate more of the lighting. Actually, my 2006 Forester has it, and it controls the central dash clock, Cruise Control, and trip/odometer lights. So, it's making a comeback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyKeith Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Nope, not stupid. I have one in my 05 Legacy. With the Electroluminescent (or how ever they spell it) gauges it is needed. When ever the headlights are on, the dash lights are significantly dimmer. That makes it hard to see things like the clock and radio during the day. Pressing this button sends all the dash features to their brightest level, allowing me to see them, but never touch the headlight or dash dimmer switches.
