The interior auto lights function, sometimes called courtesy lights, turns the interior lights on automatically when a door is opened. The auto lights can make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle if it's dark outside. However, there may also be situations where you don't want the lights to turn on, such as when passengers are sleeping in the vehicle.

The auto lights off button is located in the overhead console and is marked with an auto lights off symbol.

Even if the auto lights are disabled, the lights will still turn on if you use the lights all on function.
