Default error lights: hexagon with exclamation point and....

its next to another error light that looks like an up arrow above a down arrow with 3 straight lines in btw them.

Its a customer's car, I dont have access to an owner's manual at this time. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanx in advance.

Default Esp is the orange triangle, this is something different....

as I discussed this with the customer.

He's on a roadtrip so he's kind of worried.

Must be an '03-> thing, because my '02 manual doesn't make any mention of it.

Default I would speculate that it has to do with the IP/cluster dimming. Notice how our cars don't have a

dim switch for those lights? Most cars have a dim switch for the IP/Cluster lights.

My guess is that it's dynamic because it constantly adjusts the level based on sunload level to prevent washout of the gauge readings.
