I noticed the rear wheels of my A110 are caked in brake dust, more so than the fronts. Even after a simple motorway drive with no spirited driving at all. Should this be considered normal on the A110? On other cars, there is more brake dust on the front wheels which seems logical to me as the brake bias is to the front.

One other thing that bugs me: The panel lights always switch to "night mode" during the day, especially in bright sunshine. After restarting the car they are back to normal, later they switch again to night mode which is difficult to read in daylight. Anyone else have this?

Thanks to all for the replies. Sounds as if it's a feature, not a bug.

@RikkertBiemans: No, switching to manual lights does not change it. Only thing you can do is stop, switch off the engine and re-start.
A bit annoying but not the end of the world, as said above.
