**** KNOWN ISSUE, VC GAUGE LIGHTING AT NIGHT ****
For some unknown reason the VC gauges sometimes remain dark at night.
We have not found the reason for this (yet) but there is a workaround :
On the Vc panel, located just left of the battery switch, we have installed a
panel light switch. Click on this switch once or twice and the VC gauges lights
will be restored.
