My Australian spec (based on Euro spec) car which also has a KPH cluster does not have those dots either. Not sure what they're about?

Are those the cluster tamper warning dots I've heard about?

No - these dots are on the analogue dials themselves, not in the lower section of the cluster near the odometer.

Yup,on UK speedo its 10.30.50.70.90 etc on there all the way round.

Correction it's .20.40.60 up to 200 mph.

I was thinking it has something to do with a certain option for German market cars maybe🧐

I know right I can't seem to figure it out and it seems quite common every 3 in 10 cars seem to have these mysterious dots

They look like they are just markers for where the needle would point at the listed kmh speed. For mph the markings on the bezel itself line up with the mph speeds, but not so with kmh so you need the dots. I guess they only made one cluster and the bezel marks are for mph.
