Surround light ON, foglight switched on on daylight

Hello,
I think i have problem with my car and option surround light. It's set to ON, no matter day/night the front fog lights and rear lights always switch on, when unlock car. The lights in mirrors switch on, only at night. I try with "äuto" mode, for lights... still the same.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

the front fogs and rear lights normally turn on when you unlock the car. its a safety feature.

The lights in mirrors switch on, only at night. I try with "äuto" mode, for lights...


are you sure its not just dimmed enough that you cant see the interior lights turn on at day time?

You said, it's normal fog/tail lights to switch on always, no matter day/night? I thought i have problem with sensors.

Lights on mirror and interior lights switch on, only at night.

'Follow me home'-light can be set on/off via instrument cluster, and time duration too. Light sensor probably controls 'ambient' lightning.
