Default DIC Blinks?

Every time I drive up my drive way and into my garage my DIC blinks, (no pun intended) when I come to a complete stop. Granted my drive way is a little steep.
Anybody know way this happens?
Or if it happens to anyone else?
None of my other vettes did this, it just seems odd.

Are you referring to the display's intensity changing from dim to bright? This would occur due to the photocell that controls the DIC display brightness (right above the DIC buttons) suddenly goes from high light to low light conditions.

It actually goes off then on again.
I'll watch it a little closer to see if the light intensity changes before and after.
That may very well be the automatic adjustment.
Thanks for your advice,
Tim
