Its a spot where they could have put a switch or control for something, but your model didn't have that option/feature.
Possibly AC, or fog lights, or something like that.

On many Euro and ROW cars I believe that blank is where the manual headlight level/aim rocker switch was usually placed.

Wow, clean looking interior. Yes, as Tim said, it's for a headlight height adjuster. And you do have too much oil or your gauge is acting up - better check it out.

Just check your oil level, warmed up and on level ground, if you are near the top mark on the dip stick, your gauge is accurate and the level is ok. Some where near the middle of the two marks is what you want.
