Most people get around 3bar at 2k revs and 2 bar at tickover. The light on the mirror is to show if you have switched the auto anti glare facility on - Chromatic mirror or something like that?

When up to temperature the needle should be right in the middle. Under load (hard acceleration etc) this will probably rise slightly.

The green light should be there. It's just an interior light of sorts. You've got green lights in the footwells also.

The light you are talking of is not on the mirror,and you don't notice it easily.
I remember someone on here talking of it before,I asked the dealer about it and never really got an answer.

Its just an interior light thats green to illuminate the centre console with a "quality" feel. White would be too harsh.
