Question ambient light

Question please: How does one turn off the (rear) dome interior light? I do not mean the bright light which comes on when the doors are open. I went to the programing and followed through the menu to "lighting" and succeeded in turning off the ambient lighting. The front located dome light is no longer on but the rear one is, when it is dark out enough to illuminate the automatic headlights.

Provided you understand what I'm asking, thanks in advance.

2 buttons right on the rear light unit!

You can adjust the rear ambient light or turn it off right there at the light unit itself, there are two button to turn up or down the brightness.

thanks Dlau

I simply held on one of the dome switches until the light was dimmed to my desire. I previously tried pushing the button(s) instead of holding....dah.....

Anyway, thanks.
