Every car I've owned up to now has turned the interior lights on when a door is opened.

Yet I can walk up to my 2015 L405 Autobiography and open a door and be greeted with a black cave.
Same thing when going to get out of the vehicle after a drive. Open a door, no interior lights. You have to turn them on yourself. I don't even think it turns on the puddle lights in this case.

I've gone through the menus - stealth mode is not on. Can't see anything else relevant.

Is this a 'feature' I'll just have to live with?

on the L322 you can press the on/off switch for a few seconds [on the front center light cluster] and toggle between lights on or off when the door is opened.... ... - .- -.

Front courtesy lamp: Touch the centre of the sensor lens briefly to switch on/off.
To switch automatic illumination on or off, hold your finger on the lens until the lamp flashes.
hope this helps various other LR's this one is still the best

Yes that really helps thanks. Certainly a case of RTFM for me.
Someone must have been set it that way at some point as I can't believe OFF would be default.

porkman i can't believe you thought the l405 interior lights worked this way.

Why's that then? I'm not familiar with RRs before this one.

I'd not worry, i too have never owned anything from JLR so i'm fully expecting to be sat in it the day of collection & not having a clue how everything works. Total opposite of BMW or Audi where my lever of comfort with the gadgets is high & therefore becomes intuitive.
