(silly me)

OK - usually, I'm pretty observant, but I had this car over a month before I realized there's a light in the cargo area on the right-hand side AND on the liftgate itself! Both have the typical 3-position switch for ON, ON-when-open and OFF.

Anyway, thought I'd post in case anyone else hadn't noticed.

You are too hard on yourself - it took me 2 months before I noticed that. I think we are all so bedazzled by the nifty high-tech features that we fail to notice the basic stuff for a while. I mean, it took me two weeks to learn not to pull out my key every time I went to open the door!

It took me a couple of weeks to notice, I only realized there was a second light on the tailgate on Sunday.

I am glad you indicated what the three switch positions are. Too busy to read the manual, and I must really be in the twilight zone, to figure out the basic switch positions for ON-when-open, so I just turned it off.

Like rubberside said,

I'm just about up to 30 days of ownership, and I did not know about the lights. I must thank you for telling me.

Thanks everyone, for letting me know I'm not alone in this and that the post was somewhat helpful!

Well, me too! I didn't notice it until 2 or 3 weeks into ownership. One more thing to let you guys know that I just noticed today. It is very hot in Toronto today and when I start the car, the climate control in automatic mode came on full power. When I push the voice command button to speak out my destination, I noticed that the fan slowed down to allow me to listen to her voice and allow me to speak. After my voice command completed, the fan went back to full speed. Anyone else found any other neat stuff like that?
