Lights on while driving

Hi, the little lights next to the sos button and one the rearview mirror keeps on while driving. Sometimes the one on the left and sometimes the one on the right. Any idea how to turn them off? Maybe a sensor malfunctioning? It happens from time to time. Tia for your insights.

Just touch them to turn off. They are activated by either touch or gestures.

The latter might be the reason for those lights coming on time to time, perhaps an unintentional gesture.

Thanks for the replies. I did touch them and it won’t turn off. So I had to turn off the car and wait for like a min then turn back on. Sometimes it will go away but this time it’s on again…. I think might be a malfunction.

Odd, haven't heard about this same issue before.

If you specifically switch the light on, can you then turn it off?

Dropped off the car to my dealer earlier and said they will look at it and let me know. Service advisor was not able to duplicate the issue but said they will look at it and let me know. Luckily they have a loaner. Thanks again for all the info.

RHD or LHD? What's that hanging from your mirror?
