Ambient light on Mini

[EnglishQuality1800]

New EV owner here (level 2 charger for about a week now, loving it!) Quick question about the ambient lighting inside the car. While driving, the light ring on the driver's side only seems to be about a third lit up, with an orange/red glow. It changes when I adjust things like volume or A/C, but normally it's just a third on. Is this normal, or did I miss a setting somewhere?

When you engage with the car, the center ring changes actively. It changes color in response to your actions, while the rest of the light strips in the interior remain solid. The solid color can be controlled using the upper panel's second toggle switch from the right.

The ambient light ring in the Mini is pretty neat; it usually reflects the current driving mode or system status. That orange or red glow you’re seeing is likely related to your climate control settings or could even be a response to your driving style, especially if you’re in sport mode. It’s normal for it to only light up depending on how you're using the car. They sometimes update stuff, and add indicators. If you’re tweaking it, you can adjust the brightness and colors through the infotainment system. Just head over to the settings and look for the 'Lighting' section.

That light ring is like your car’s mood ring; it loves to show off its colors depending on the vibe! Whether it’s grooving to the beat of your tunes or responding to the A/C, it’s all part of the fun. it’s totally normal for it to be partially lit; it’s just the car's way of indicating that it is on and working.

If you're feeling adventurous, go into the settings and give that light a little makeover. You can switch up the colors and brightness to match your style or mood. It's such a neat feature

So, about that ambient lighting—it’s totally normal! It actually adjusts depending on things like your volume and climate control settings, which is a pretty neat feature. The partial lighting you’re seeing is just how it rolls; it adds a little flair based on what's happening in the car.

If you want to play around with it, you can dive into your car's settings. There, you’ll find options to customize the colors and brightness to match your mood. It's a fun way to make your ride feel even more personal! Once you get the hang of it, you'll really appreciate how it enhances the whole driving experience. ✌
