Interior lights staying on

[NickNewortWales]

After our first week of camping every time we drive away the small lights over the kitchen and sliding door are staying on! the only way I have found to turn them off is to put it in camping mode then move to the lights button and turn off all interior lights before driving off… HELP!

Hi Nick - Its the button up by the rear view mirror that you need.

Can't get these lights out

The lights in the kitchen and on the sliding doors (same lights) remain turned on. I can only switch them off by locking the car from outside. Can't even regulate it using the display ("all lights out"). How can I fix this? Verstuurd met Tapatalk

We’ve all scratched heads over that one!

Mine did that yesterday. No amount of button pressing would make them go out. Eventually locked the van and that worked. Now thy will only work correctly in Camping mode. It’s definitely a change of operation and seems to have caught a lot of folk recently. I am guessing a software update?

There is the courtesy delay after unlocking. No amount of button pressing has any effect inside that courtesy delay. Could that be it?

It’s really frustrating when you need to hover around waiting for the lights to go out, just to be sure. Not so important when hooked up of course.

Got exactly the same problem. Been working fine; then today they would not go off as we started driving. Ended up driving all the way back from the Lake District with them on (but dimmed through the panel). They go off when you lock it so least they are not draining the battery. It is painful though - if it was a PC I would reboot. Any ideas?

The switches below the control panel. The 2 outside ones are for the map lights but the 2 inside switch the rear lights. Try them first. There is no indication they are on or off!

I think that is it. They were raised and the map light ones were pressed in. So I have now pushed them all in so they are almost flush. Will give this a try, fingers crossed.

I’m confident that every Cali owner has fallen foul of this little switch!
