What the h*ck does this dial do??

[GeckoJosh]

Can anyone tell me what the dial on the left is supposed to do because it doesn't seem to do anything?

Left one=foot lighting. Right one =dash and dome lighting

Yes the left is interior lighting. Check in the dark as it is very subtle.

It will adjust the lights in the footwell and cupholder. Some aftermarket lights use it as an input.

The right-side dial has a detent that forces 'daylight' mode. Search the forum for more details.

On my 2019 Sport S, the left dial also controls the lights in the center console cup holders and side door latches.

However, I believe the light from the Milky Way on a dark clear evening has more lumens (lm) than the highest dial setting. Similarly, you can only see the difference of the intensity of this dial while in the dark.

Just like the Milkyway, about ten minutes of pitch blackness should acclimate one to the interior mood lights. Just dont look at your phone during the interim. Or step on the brakes.

Very subtle.

I've never checked to see if the centre console light is the same brightness (dimness).

Anyone else think it’s adorable that the OP bleeped out the “e” on heck?

I presumed that he meant to type an f, not an h.

It spins. It's a dial. That's what it does.

I asked this question at a dealership the other day and no one could tell me. I already wasn't going back there but this was the icing on the cake.

And that's all it does. It does nothing else. Some guys here say it's for ambient or "mood lighting", but the only mood that dial stimulates in me is anger, because it doesn't do a goddam thing.

Page 45 of my 2020 owners manual agrees with the comments above.

Great question. Though as most of us are still awaiting arrival, how the h*ll do we know?

Thanks! I've messed around and couldn't notice much of a difference
