I noticed that ambient lighting such as the ring around the cigarette lighter lights up when you open the door after you put it to park. Do these happen only when it is dark outside or all the time? I noticed that it happens all the time i.e. anytime of the day when i park and get out the car, i see the ambient lighting starts and fades out like in 30 seconds. I was wondering it is something default or can be changed. I don't want this feature when it is daylight outside.
