How to Turn On and Off the Interior Ambient Lighting?
2 Answers
There is a knob for controlling the lights at the bottom left of the steering wheel. First, press this knob 1-2 millimeters. Then, turn it counterclockwise until the end to turn on the interior ambient lighting. To turn it off, rotate the knob counterclockwise back to its original position.
Having driven for ten years, I find it quite easy to figure out the interior ambient lighting. Usually, the button is located on the inner side of the door or the center console, resembling a small control knob or switch; press once to turn it on, and press again to turn it off. For vehicles with touchscreens, you can navigate to the system menu and select the 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Lighting' section to toggle the ambient lights. The brightness can also be adjusted by rotating the knob or sliding the on-screen bar to change the light intensity. Different car models vary—for example, Volkswagen places the button near the door handle, BMW integrates it into the iDrive menu, and Toyota locates it in the center console button area. It's advisable to check the owner's manual first to familiarize yourself with the location and avoid distracted operation while driving—safety comes first. Ambient lighting also offers multiple modes to choose from, such as soft nighttime lighting or party ambiance, so adjust it according to your needs.
