Ummm... Dash lights?

Dumb question that I can't figure out. How do you raise the backlight for the switches? Can't see mine in the dark.

It's the little up and down black knob next to your light switch. Atleast on my c63 it is and all other cars I have ever driven

Edit: did some research its in the settings. Press the home button on the steering wheel, go to settings, instrument cluster, brightness.

It isn't the cluster that is the issue but the actual switches. Aren't they backlit?

Getting advice from a C owner about how to work unique controls on the GT is fascinating.

more parts than you may realize are common. Certainly the steering wheel, dash, screen, are common with the C class. Probably the main thing I disalike about a $200k car.

So does that mean that someone can tell me how to raise the switch lights?

Does this page from the owner's manual answer your question?

And???

You sound a bit entitled for "just" being a GT(S) owner. This forum is built for all to help.

You can downloard the manual for the 2016 GTS here: https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/service_and_parts/owners_manuals#!year=2016&class=AMG%20GTS-Class

Strangely enough, when you try to download the 2018 GT coupe owner's manual you get the roadster manual (which differs from the coupe manual). But if you go to the Canadian site you can download the coupe manual.
