Where is the ambient light switch for the T-Roc?

The T-Roc does not have a separate switch for the interior ambient lights. To turn on the ambient lights, follow these steps: On the central display screen system interface, click on 'car', then find 'Ambient Lighting' in the settings at the bottom right corner. Here, you can switch the ambient lights on/off and adjust their brightness. The main functions of ambient lights are: 1. Helps relax; 2. Enhances the car's premium feel; 3. Creates a pleasant atmosphere. The T-Roc is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4318mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1582mm in height. It features Alcantara seats, a panoramic sunroof, an electric tailgate, a BeatsAudio sound system, a 10.3-inch ActiveInfoDisplay full LCD instrument panel, and offers various active and passive safety configurations such as front collision warning.
Last time I helped a friend find the T-Roc's ambient light switch, I realized it's quite hidden. Unlike some cars with dedicated buttons, you need to start the vehicle first, then locate the vehicle settings icon on the infotainment screen. After entering, select the interior settings menu where you'll find an 'Ambient Lighting' option. Here you can adjust colors and brightness, and even set lighting effects synchronized with different driving modes. If you can't locate it, check the manual in the glovebox or try activating the voice assistant via steering wheel controls by saying 'turn on ambient lights'. Just a heads-up – base models might not have this feature, so pay extra attention when buying used cars. Nowadays many new vehicles integrate functions into touchscreens, which does sacrifice the convenience of physical buttons.
As a seasoned car enthusiast who frequently tinkers with vehicles, I'm quite familiar with the ambient light switch design in this generation of Volkswagen T-Roc. It's hidden in the secondary menu of the infotainment system: select the vehicle icon on the central display—interior—ambient lighting. Remember, the vehicle needs to be powered on to operate it. The welcome light settings when opening the door at night are also located here. If you find that you can't adjust the brightness, you might need to visit a 4S dealership to unlock hidden features, or check if it was accidentally turned off in the infotainment system's personalized settings. Nowadays, even adjusting the air conditioning in new cars requires navigating through three-level menus, which is truly unfriendly to elderly users. In this regard, Toyota's physical button design proves more practical. It's recommended to save your preferred color settings directly to the user profile for easy access.
