Two Questions, Reverse & Door Open Light

[samhail]

gents...

2003 IS200.

two quick things that have been at me.

1) there doesnt appear to be an option to turn on the light on the inside when the doors open, only an on and off for the driver/passenger side. bit unusual for a car ?

2) when i put the car into reverse it makes a beeping sound like a truck does ! i had to get someone to jump out to make sure that noone outside heard it... tell me thats not standard ! :)

I could say it's not standard but I'd be lying - and no you can't disable it

you will at some point but it in reverse when you didn't mean to and be glad the beeping sound is there. 1st and reverse are close together.

You can set the light to come on when the door opens

i hate the beeping too but to be honest if you play musice its not that bad, and after all my whinging i also have put it in reverse by mistake!

as for the interior light, on the roof the switch has 3 settings, push it towards passenger door and its on perm, middle is off, and towards driver door is on when doors open

[FuntimePhil]

if you have it pushed over to the right and when you open your door, try opening the passenger door, you may have a faulty sensor in the drivers door

right how embarrassing would it be if i said that i went out and sat in the car, put on the lights to verify that there wasnt a switch, got the manual out (which i should have had in the first place) and found out there is a light in the miggle of the roof not only the personal lights. ack !

What will i find out about the car tomorrow ! :)
