When you remove the key from the ignition, does your interior light come on?
SubscribeWhen I bought my car a year ago, I could have sworn that the light would come on when I turned off the ignition and removed the key. I think I did something to accidentally remove this feature.
The last time I brought in my car to the dealer for air con service, I asked them to turn this feature back on as well, and they told me that feature doesn't exist! I think every car I have ever owned had that feature - is it possible that I imagined it?

It is controlled by the switch overhead that operates the dome light. This is a multiposition switch.

Yeah, I was messing with the dome light... but I can't find in the manual how to set it back... I'll go over the manual again to see if I can find the sequence or something.Originally Posted by Chauss

I checked the manual tonight and it doesn't say anything about lighting the interior when you remove the key; only when you open the doors.Originally Posted by Chauss

Can anyone give me any specific instructions because there aren't any in the manual.... help!

I think the interior lights only light when the door is opened or car is unlocked by remote.- Not by removing the key.

I believe in my CLK, when I take out the key from the ignition, the interior lights light up.

To confirm: I drove my CLK tonight and when I took out my key from the ignition, the interior lights lit up.

Now, I just need to figure out how to toggle it back on in my car...

Oh yeah, whenever I open the door, the lights come on.Originally Posted by Jessica90
When you open your door (at night), do the lights come on?
It's just that it's nice to be able to turn off the ignition and be able to see/gather my stuff (i.e. cell phone, gps, purse, etc.) together before I open the door (at night).
