My wait is finally over!

Just picked it up this afternoon. First impressions, I LOVE IT! Scary thing did happen on the way home however, driving down the A14 just outside of Bury cruising along about 75mph and the passenger door comes open and all the lights inside the car come on! At first I thought my son had accidentally lowered the window then I realized all the lights inside were on.... I looked down at the center display and realized the door ajar symbol was on. I pulled over ASAP and closed it but it definitely threw me for a sec. The only thing I can think is when my husband got out he didn't shut the door all the way? But the interior lights were out so?? Maybe it just wasn't latched all the way? It does seem like I have to slam the doors to get them properly shut but I will definitely be keeping a very close eye on them from now on. Also will be pulling out the manual to figure out how to dim the interior lights for night time driving. I thought the dealer had set it to auto but the center screen was REALLY bright.

Congrats. Looks really nice. Mine is Fuji white too Smile

There's a thumb wheel next to the tailgate opening button on the left side of the steering column that is used to adjust the brightness of the interior night lighting (except the dome lights). Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Bowl, thanks! Found the switch I probably wouldn't have found it unless I actually did read the manual. I'm used to the switch being up in the speedometer or tach area.

No problem. To own an Evoque, you just have to think unconventionally. Laughing
