Title: Orange Light ??
Post by: amba on 20 October 2014, 21:00:32

Never noticed it before but my front interior mirror has a small orange light at the bottom which comes on with ignition I think.

Only noticed it tonight as needed to reach to front of screen to get pen that had rolled forward.

What does it indicate or do ?? :-\

Which begs the question, is it really a help? Perhaps Elite owners can enlighten me, as mine,s only a CDX. :y

I only realised my car had it when I reached onto the front of the dashboard to get a pen that had rolled down to the front of the screen and noticed my hand had a orange light shining onto it.

Investigated further and found the light source in the bottom of the interior mirror,so unsure if it was a warning light and the cover had fallen off...but have now been put correct.

Dont think it will change my life though  ;D
