Default Little clear indicator above the DIC controls

I know that this has probably been covered (many times!) before, but just what the hell is that 'clear indicator' for right above the DIC control buttons?? :confused: :confused: :) :)

That is really ironic because I just noticed that today. As I was driving home after work I noticed that every time I went under a long overpass(while sitting in traffic as well) the MPH indicator kept dimming and then returning to it's normal brightness when I returned to the sunlight. Is this supposed to dim the radio and climate control display as well or just the dash lights??? Mine appeared to only dim the dashboard lights.
