No lights come on when I enter the vehicle, maybe it's a setting I haven't found yet??
Hit "DOME" on the button in the console where your lights are, then it should come on when you open the doors. Also, each "SPOT" light should illuminate when the respective door is open unless this has been turned off in personalized settings.

Hmm, I'll have to look for this "dome" button, thanks for the heads up!! I guess I've been paying to much attention to keeping the car clean and driving that I have missed this option..

It is there so if you leave windows down, and someone reaches into the car to steal something then the alarm will sound.

Ok so now I have to check to see if I have that button. I'm thinking mine is blank though. I also learned today that I can lock my doors without using the fob by pressing on the button on the door handle. Read the manual they said lol.

Yeah, I think it could be motion sensor. Will give it a try. Cruise control radar controls are all on the steering wheel so I think it's the motion sensor.

I thought for sure it was the Eject button... Glad I wasn't the only one.
