I have a 2022 Skoda Octavia. There is one annoying though quite small issue. The interior light on the roof can´t be switched on when power is off. Can´t find anything regarding this in settings either. Is there a way to change this, does anybody know?

Briefly open and close the door, then the lights will stay on for about 10 minutes or until you turn the ignition on.

I have the same problem - there is a click when you touch the light, but nothing happens. I am not sure whether it happens all the time or it is intermittent, because I don't often sit in the car for long.

 

Opening the door works, but that turns off the infotainmaint unit, so if you were sitting in the car to finish listening to something, you end up with light but nothing to listen to!

Try pressing the ON/OFF button on the console and see where it gets you.  Try pressing the START button without depressing the clutch and see where it gets you.

My car has switch off the lights earlier. But as I am sitting in my car right now, it worked exactly as you described. 

 

I got a massive system update earlier today, could it have effected?
