Default 2015 Audi A3 Cruise Control Arm

I just picked up my car last night. I noticed on the drive home that the cruise control and wiper control arms were not illuminated. Is this normal? Or is there a setting for that. Its a premium plus package on the car.

That's the way it is... Not even my fully loaded 2014 A6 has illuminated stalks.

I don't see the issue. The gas and brake pedals aren't illuminated, yet most of us find them with our less sensitive feet clad in heavy shoes. Bare hands should be able to find the stalks right near the steering wheel (which itself is not illuminated). A little practice and it should become less troublesome. BTW. what brand has such illumination? Just curious.

If I remember right, they were illuminated on my Buick. I'll get used to it. When you drive a car home for the first time and its dark outside, its kind of nice to know what the arms do.

You'll get used to it, the dash will indicate if you've turned on the cruise control. It's pretty neat how it highlights the speedometer with little red LEDs as to what speed you've selected.
