    okay, I've looked all over the manual and this forum. Perhaps I've missed it but is there a setting so that the gauges are illuminated during daytime?

    Turn the mileage reset button clockwise. That will brighten or dim the display in the middle.

    I have been wondering the same thing. The dashboard is so dark during the day. I feel like I remember my old truck actually dimming the dash lights when I turned the headlights on. Meaning that they were brighter during the day, and a lot easier to to see.
