Under what circumstances do welcome lights turn on?

Normally, whenever the driver and passengers open the car door to get in or out, the welcome lights will instantly turn on automatically and project onto the ground. When the door is closed, the welcome lights will automatically turn off. Here is some related information: 1. Function of welcome lights: They serve an aesthetic purpose, making the car look more noble and stylish. They can also be used to alert pedestrians and other vehicles on the road, helping to avoid unnecessary accidents. 2. Location of the door welcome light switch: Generally, the door welcome light switch is located on the roof of the car, along with the reading light and sunroof switches. Once activated, the welcome lights will automatically sense and turn on or off by themselves in the future.
When the car's welcome lights illuminate, it is typically triggered automatically by the vehicle sensing specific actions. From my experience, this occurs in several common scenarios. First, when I press the unlock button on the remote key to unlock the vehicle, the welcome lights instantly turn on, helping me see the area around the door clearly at night. Second, when the key approaches the vehicle—if the car has a proximity-sensing feature—the lights activate as the distance decreases. Additionally, when the car door is opened, the lights automatically turn on and stay lit for a while to welcome me inside. This design not only enhances convenience by preventing trips in the dark but also adds a sense of technology and ceremony to the vehicle. However, welcome lights usually work more noticeably in dark or low-light conditions, as the system is triggered by a light sensor. If they don’t turn on, I recommend checking whether the remote battery is depleted or if the lighting options in the vehicle settings are turned off, to avoid missing auxiliary lighting in emergencies. Regularly cleaning the light covers can also reduce mis-triggering issues caused by dust buildup.
