Have you noticed it is only on when the headlight switch is on? I guess that makes sense, Toyoita is smart!

It is to improve the overall visibility of the button and if you have something to read, like a map, you can do it without turning on the normal reading lamp. There are also 2 LEDs illuminating the footwells. I need to check 7 - if it is not the one on the door (you do say "floor") I have never noticed it... The cabin lights do turn on when you approach the car, nice feature - I only think it happens a bit too late. I would also have liked a bit more LED lighting in the car or when approaching it... ;) but they needed to keep costs down, I suppose... Number 1 is also known as a map reading light.

It scared the living daylights out of me when I saw it the first time. Yes, the inside light turns itself on when you get about two feet from the car… and it’s locked.

Now we know why. Is it just me or do the cabin lights light up before you touch the driver's-side door handle? I have been enjoying the iPhone bluetooth integration (too bad it doesn't sync the addr book tho'). I listen to podcasts on my commute and if the podcast playlist happened to be the last thing I listened to, it starts playing once the phone automagically connects. And the sound quality is great for music over bluetooth (A2DP). 2) Huh, was wondering what that sound was…
