    Hi All,

    I have the carbon seats and with the way the seat is set for me, I can't see the indicators flashing in the instrument cluster.
    The clicks from the indicators are not loud either so it's a bit of a guessing game if they are on or not.

    I have to duck down to see them so not sure if my seat is set too high or are others having the same problem with their seats set to a comfortable driving position?
    Cheers.

    I had the same issue but have lowered the steering column just enough to see them.

    Same here, either lower head or adjust column. Such a poor design and then the trick of learning how to keep the indicator flashing for more than a second. Takes a bit to master those indicators. lol

    I don't use em. Problem solved.

    but ya, just move your steering column up a quarter inch and you'll be fine.

    And this 'problem' is nowhere near as bad as Porsche where NO ONE can see the outside gauges ever in any way. Of the 5 gauges, the first and fifth are blocked by the wheel, period.

    Cheers, thought I had set my seat wrong and it's a whole job getting the techs to adjust again. I'll try the quarter inch trick to see if it works.
    Another quirk:)
