So, I had my first drive in the dark and I have a couple of questions if you can help:
I have set the main dashboard lighting at auto - expecting it to be light through the day & change to dark at night. It’s not happening in my car is stays on light. When you’re driving at night in heavy rain it needs to be dark as the reflection is atrocious. I actually had to pull over, go in to the menu and select dark mode.
Can anyone confirm if it should automatically switch at night if set in auto.

Secondly ( a frivolous question) the mood lighting on the doors only appears to light the front doors and not the rear, is this normal ? In other cars that I have had all four doors had the function.

In any event a goos drive covering some 250 mls ( average speed 60 mph) and achieved 3.3 ( lights and heating on together with windscreen wipers - not all the time but most of it, temp outside 8c - not bad me thinks !!

Pleased to see that efficiency. Strange about the dashboard lighting. Let’s hope another owner can offer some info. I’ll post the issue on the FB page as well.
