Hello.

I have an Octavia Mk4 iV 2022.

 

It annoys me that the function of the roof interior lights are separated, front and rear. For example, when I unlock the car, the lights both front and rear turns on. Just fine. When I open the drivers door, the rear lights turns off. I the backdoors are opened, the front light turns off, and only the rears are lit. When back doors are closed, rear lights turns off, and fronts turns on again.

 

I would prefer both front and rear light were turned on and off at the same time, but I can't find any settings regarding to this. I also tried to turn lights on and while doors are opened or closed, but it doesn't seem to work.

 

Is it supposed to work like this? It just seems so stupid that the kids have to keep the doors open to buckle up

 

Have a nice evening

Thankyou!

 

i thought i was going mad. Mine is the same. 
 

also, if you switch the engine off, the lights come on as you’d expect, then after a while they time out if you don’t open the door to get out. After this time out, you cannot switch them back on manually in any way without opening the door. 
 

what’s that all about?

Just press the ignition button (without foot on clutch) then turn interior lights on?

Hello everyone. 
 

just giving this one a bump to see if someone has a solution for this?
 

I have tries with other new Skodas, but it seems that only Octavia has interior lights that behaves this Way 😀

Have a nice evening folks

Isn't there the button by the interior rear view mirror to deactivate the automatic interior light? It looks like a door open symbol?

Hi. 
 

yes it is possible to deactivate the open-door light.

The Issue is that the rear interior lights turns off when opening the front doors, and the front lights turns off when the rear doors are opened. 
 

It seems to work like Skoda designed it for Octavia, but a stupid design though. 
 

i will try to post a video later. 

My RS2023 does the same. Its totally nonsence.
