Interior lighting (BMW X3 E83)

The interior lighting is controlled automatically.

Note: You can set the lights to turn on automatically when you unlock the car with the key. This function can be enabled/disabled for you at a BMW service station.

Note: If the interior light remains on after you lock the vehicle, this indicates that you have not closed one of the doors or the trunk completely.
