How can I make my Audi A6's dash display brighter?

The display in my 2001 Audi A6 TDI 2.5-litre's dash is not clear at all. When I first got the car four days ago I couldn't make out anything at all. It did clear slightly, but now it has gone funny again. The car did have a completely dead battery when I got it.

There may be a panel rheostat to increase the light level.
