Interior mood lighting The dimmed passenger compartment lighting improves visibility in the vehicle when the light is p o o r.
At night, the interior mood lighting comes on automatically when the sidelamps are switched on (for example, a source of light in the roof console illuminates the middle of the centre console). The interior mood lighting switches off automatically when the sidelamps are switched off.
Lamps on: there are 7 levels of brightness. The level of brightness increases progressively with each press of the button, returning to zero after the maximum level is reached. A long press gives maximum brightness. This adjustment is used to set the mood lighting level for the interior lamp, as well as for the door opening controls and the storage locations (depending on version).

Footwell lighting
Activation
Its operation is identical to that of the courtesy lamps. The lamps come on when one of the doors is opened.
The soft lighting provided by the footwell lamps improves visibility in the vehicle when the light is poor.
