Where is the ambient light button in the Alphard?

The ambient light button in the Alphard is the small knob located behind the left side of the steering wheel. Below is an introduction to the Alphard's features: 1. Configuration: It offers a spacious and flexible passenger and cargo space, along with multifunctional and user-friendly high-end designs, allowing drivers and passengers to seamlessly transition between business and leisure, fully experiencing a sense of freedom and ease while driving. 2. Body dimensions: The Alphard measures 4850mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1905mm in height, with a body height exceeding 1.9m and a wheelbase of 2950mm, setting a new record in its class. 3. Design: The design goal of "grandeur, nobility without losing dynamism" is achieved through a robust and imposing body design combined with a low center of gravity and wide body layout. The bold and striking chrome grille integrates seamlessly with the large crystal headlights, complemented by sharp fog lights and a lower air intake design, forming a forward-thrusting V-shaped front fascia. This design echoes the V-shaped rear taillights and rear fog lights, exuding a sense of majesty while maintaining elegance.

I haven’t been driving the Alphard for long, but the ambient light button is actually quite easy to find—it’s located in the lighting control area on the left side of the steering wheel, specifically within the button cluster below the instrument panel, usually marked with a small light icon. Once turned on, the light’s color and brightness can be customized via the central control screen, such as blue or warm yellow tones, which is quite practical for creating ambiance during night drives. However, note that the position may vary slightly depending on the model year—my 2022 version is set up this way. When adjusting the settings, make sure the system isn’t undergoing an update, or the lights might flicker. My kids love playing with these lights in the car, and the timed on/off feature adds convenience—it’s a fun little gadget that enhances the driving experience.

From my driving experience, the Alphard ambient light controls are primarily integrated into the vehicle settings menu on the central touchscreen. After starting the vehicle, access the entertainment system and select the lighting options to adjust brightness levels and color temperature variations. Some older models may still have physical buttons near the center console, but I recommend new owners explore the touchscreen operation to prevent button aging issues. Additionally, the ambient lighting design is quite intelligent, synchronizing with the audio system to pulse with music, enhancing the overall sensory experience in the cabin. Remember to regularly clean the touchscreen to avoid accidental touches, and note that prolonged inactivity may trigger energy-saving mode, requiring reactivation.

I often use the ambient lighting in the Alphard. The button is usually located around the door panel control panel on the side of the seat. With a simple press, the light turns on and the brightness can be adjusted. The position is convenient, allowing for easy operation while driving without distracting attention. Paired with the interior design, the lighting is soft and not glaring, enhancing nighttime ride comfort. Personally, I think it's good practice to regularly check the light connections to prevent short circuits.
