Default Does the Stock Radio have any backlighting on the control buttons?

I have a brand new 2011 XLT Ranger with the stock radio. I am driving into work this morning (first time driving it in the dark), and I notice that although all my other controls are illuminated but not the button on the radio itself. The radio has power (and plays) and the LCD display is light, just not the buttons?

Any ideas, is dashboard dimmer set too low (I haven't changed it from defaults).

Thanks
Leland.

Thanks for the info, I was planning on using the stock radio for a while and eventually replace it but I might have to rethink waiting.
