Ambient lighting 2018 Cabriolet

Does anyone with a new model cab or coupe have ambient lighting in the rear seat area of the car? I have full front and footwell but the back in completely blank apart from light from under the front seats.
I have tried all the settings and the Comand screen show front and back lighting, but nothing shows. I would expect the side panel light to carry through from the front into the back seat area.
Do I need to take it to my dealer or is this normal for the cab?
Thanks for your help.

The lighting is limited to what you described. In the rear, just under seat/foot well lighting is available. I believe this was also discussed in the Sedan/W213 forum (closest to 2018+ C238 Coupes).

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought this might be the case but hoped otherwise.
Seems a little penny pinching not to have the lights continue into the back seat area but never mind.
Thank again for answering my query.

How about ambient lighting in the rear of the car? Can you confirm that only the rear footwell is lit?
