Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 A method of adjusting the brightness of an instrument lighting device of an instrument device according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown. The following will be attached figure 2The further illustrated instrument arrangement comprises, in particular, a circular instrument 1 for displaying speed. The instrument lighting device 9 (referring to figure 2 ) is constructed on the face (not shown) facing away from the driver.

[0027] In a first method step S10, for example via the coded ignition key 7 or 8 (cf. figure 2 ) determines whether a personalized brightness is stored for the driver authenticated by the coded ignition key. If yes (S10: "Y"), the brightness is adjusted in step S15, and if not (S10: "N"), the default or initial value of brightness is maintained.

[0028] If the driver wants to change the brightness, then—for example, by operating the operating unit 6 (refer to figure 2 )——in step S20, select the corresponding subrout...
