Interior lighting - dash

[Fujifilm]

Hello, this might seem a daft question but I can't find an answer, I have a CLS 2007, does anything on the dash illuminate, such as the buttons on the sat nav, the climate control functions etc.

At night it's not possible to see what any of the buttons do. Surely this can't be right, either I have a fuse gone or there is a control I can't find.

Sounds like a fuse is out? - unless theres an issue with the light sensor. When set to Auto do your headlights come on at night/COMAND screen go into night mode?

Mine is an xmas tree at night.

Are the window controls lit up also?

Thanks for replys, headlights work on auto, the individual lights on dash work ie, heated seats, air con etc. the window controls, seat controls are not lit up.

Not sure if command goes into night mode.

Basically no controls are lit. Except front instrument cluster, speedo etc.

I will check the fuse thanks pstock for location.

Is that one of the cars where you rotate the speedo reset knob to control brightness of the panel lights ? Its to the left of the speedo. But I can't remember what it dims.

Only the main cluster.

Richard, you are a star, thank you, that silly little reset button does indeed control the brightness on the speedo AND the panel,

Mine was turned right down so no illumination on panel. Now I am lit up like Blackpool illuminations.
