How do I turn my puddle lights on? Is it in the main menu somewhere?

I think the puddle lights are to automatically come On when the doors are locked and the sensor detects very little or no light when you approach the vehicle with the key fob. To my knowledge there is no On or Off setting for this feature.

Hmmm, mine are not coming on. They used to come on when I open the garage door and now I get nada.

What do you mean by "open the garage door"? Open a door from the house into the dark garage where the car is located? Or, open the overhead garage door where the car is located, which would let light in if done during the day?

If your car is in a dark parking lot with the doors locked, the puddle lights should come On when you approach within 10 feet or so of the car while carrying the key fob.

HA! I open the door from the house to a dark garage and usually the lights pop on.

I'm not sure what message you are trying to convey by your comment...

The sensor located on your dash must sense extremely low light level for the puddle lights to be energized. Overhead lights would disallow the puddle lights from coming On.

Your smart key should turn on the puddle lights when you are near the car, with your key fob on hand.

Go walk to your driver's side and stand there for a few seconds. The puddle light should turn on automatically

I leave my car unlocked in the garage. When I walk to the car with the FOB nothing happens-no puddle lights turn on. They were working and stopped recently.

I thought they only worked when the doors were locked? I guess I don't pay that much attention to mine.

I [also] think the puddle lights only work when the doors are locked. You aren't worried about stepping in a puddle (or worse) in your garage when your doors are unlocked.

Try it with the doors locked...

The puddle lights only work when the doors are locked and when the key fob is nearby.

DAVEB1980

Ok will do, I'll lock the doors and see what happens.

I thought we covered locking the doors in post #2, the first reply!

DAVEB1980

Yes, I should have clarified the entire sitch.
