On your main screen (MFT) select Menu/Vehicle/Ambient Lighting. Then press on the colour you want.How do u control ambient lighting?
Cant find it anywhere....
Hello, I just brought home a fully loaded 2012 Limited and am too trying to figure out how to control the ambient lighting. What you guys describe below doesn't seem to fit what is in my MFT under the Settings section. In the MFT, there are only the options of Display Mode, Trip 1 & 2, Fuel economy, Settings, and Information. Below are the options in the MFT - Settings which match the owners manual, none of which have Ambient Lighting as a choice:
Driver Assist: Traction Ctrl, Blind Spot, Collision warning, Cross Traffic, Cruise Control, Rear Park Aid,Trailer Sway
Vehicle: Autolamp Delay, Easy Entry/Exit, Fuel, Locks, Menu Control, Oil life Reset, Power Liftgate, Remote Start, Wipers
MyKey: Create MyKey, Traction Control, Speed Warning, Volume Limiter, Clear MyKeys
Display: Gauge Display, Trip Display
Language: english, spanish, french
Units: Distance, temp
Restore Defaults: Hold OK to Reset to Factory Defaults
Am I not in the right spot in the menu somewhere? this is in the left side of the instrument cluster, operated by the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. I don't see a Vehicle section in the main menu. I must be missing something.
Mine seem to be blue in color when opening the door with the car off, but when driving down the road at night it is purple. Not really a fan of the purple.
This is done through the big screen not either of the smaller ones near the speedometer. Hope this helps.
It's in the manual....
That's strange it was not staying on at night. Maybe it was turned off. You can change everything by selecting settings, vehicle, then ambient lighting. There you can select it to be on or off, select the brightness, or chose one of 7 colors for the lighting. Which rental company offered the Edge Limited for rent?
I actually rented my Edge through Avis. And yeah, I DID go through the settings and ensured the ambient lighting was on. Even though the headlights were on at all times, the ambient lighting did not stay on while I was driving. It only came on when I opened the door. Maybe it was some kind of defect with the Edge, but Ron just confirmed they ARE supposed to stay on at night as long as the headlights are on! Thanks for the help, guys!
The ambient lighting is the best! I am 59 and I really like it. Makes the interior really cool! Besides I really like my Explorer and would not change anything!
I like my ambient lighting on my 2013 Ford Explorer, but recently I noticed that the door sills on the back doors the ambient lighting is not working.
Does anyone know if they are supposed to be lite up? My wife has a Ford Edge and her back door sills are lite up.
Thanks
