Speedometer dimmer and mile check?

First off, below and to the right of my steering wheel is a little knob that has a picture of the speedometer and theres a spinner thing and my friend has the same thing and he can dim his whole dash and speedometer, and mine doesnt work and was wondering if it was an easy fix or what?

And second off, is there no way to tell how many miles you have left to a gallon?

the location may vary but there is a wheel of some kind to adjust the dash lights.
all modern cars have that, so you can turn the lights as dim as you can for night driving- helps to maintain your outside vision

headlights must be on for dash lights- then you can adjust

had a read of the owner book yet? lot of good info in it

when the low fuel light comes on you have 3 gallons left- of which about 2.5 is able to get picked up and used
dont run it out of gas!!!

you should get 19-25mpg in town and freeway mix, so 50 miles to find your brand of gas when the light comes on

do the math on full tank to full tank- miles driven divided by gallons used- will tell you your average mpg

If the switch doesn't work then it may be the switch. They're cheap on ebay and little work needed to put in.
