small numbering under speedometer

[glennkfu]

Under the speed indicator display, there is a very small font lettering "826B". Under bright light, the lettering almost glows and is quite bothersome. Doesn't show up at night, but is clearly there when I shine a flashlight at the dashboard. What is it? Does anybody know?

If it's anything like the Smiths speedometers I'm used to in my British cars, it's probably a model number or designation code.

Here's a tip, stop shining your flashlight on your speedo while you're driving! :lol:

I had the setting sun shine through my window at just the right angle yesterday to make these letters light up like a Christmas Tree. They were brighter than the speedometer itself (which was washed out by the sun). I actually found it a bit distracting.

Have you tried setting your dash display brighter? It has many levels. I can always see mine, with sun or glare.
