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 symbol.

When the function is turned off, the button illumination changes color.
Press and hold the button to turn the auto lights function on or off.
Tip
A short press of the auto lights button switches on general lighting, such as the overhead and footwell lights.
