Controls Illumination

Post by paulread69 » Sat Oct 03, 2020 10:41 pm

Hi all. Despite having my 2018 RS4 for 18 months, I only noticed this evening while parked in the dark that none of the control storks have any illumination on my car. Please can anyone check theirs and let me know if I have a fault or if it’s supposed to be like this? I.e no stork illumination ?
The below pic was using the flash. The lights are on.

Thanks

The buttons on the steering wheel illuminate, as do the manual gear shift paddles (+ & -), but not the indicators or wiper stalk
so I think yours is normal.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I’m happy it’s not a problem. Just found it rather strange since everything else is lit up like an Xmas tree!

Cheers
Paul

Long ago there was a thread here why the radio volume control knob did not light up

My bug bear is that the inferior light does not come on until you open the car door when exiting the car
My previous B8 the interior light came on when you turned the ignition off

Interior lights same here. Either open the door or manually turn them on using the overhead button or touch the lamp
