jsk Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 My car is a Mk8 Titanium and this really is a general interest question. After doing a bit of internal cleaning on my car yesterday I left one of the rear seat backs in the folded done position. A couple of hours later I went back out to the car and as I unlocked it the boot light came on with the courtesy lights. As the courtesy lights dimmed and went out so did the boot light. Just wondering why in their wisdom did Ford do this? Can't see any practical reason as seat backs are up most of the time. Before anyone asks, 'yes the boot was shut'.

fiestaecoboostman Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It would be rather unpleasant for kidnap victims if the courtesy light in the boot didn't come on and give them some warning of activity when the kidnapper was about. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 A couple of hire cars I had in USA had an emergency boot release inside the boot which was luminous just in case someone was to bundle me in to the boot (or should i say trunk) of my hire car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyboy Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think it's a good idea as it does no harm and it keeps the manufacturing costs down instead of the expense of having separate wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
