Dots on the speedometer

What is this line of dots for?
Most of the time the upper dot is highlighted, but every once in a while it shows one or two down.

The dots show which center info graphic you are currently on.

Scroll the Right Hand wheel and as the screens change so will the highlighted dot.

It's like "This page intently left blank." if the screen was just blank, there would be numerous threads here about how "there's something wrong with one my center dash displays - it's just blank".

This is completely random, but looking at the speedo, for Canadian cars is the outer ring with the big font km/hr and the inner ring mph, or is it the same as USA spec?

Yes,
That's how it is on 99.9% of Canadian spec vehicles. Big Km/h ring and smaller MPH ring in the inside.

I couldn't agree more. But, Acura knowing their customer base, they did this likely knowing that most of their consumers are beyond stupid and would rush to the dealer if they left that screen blank thinking their center display had stopped working.
