colinmcg71 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Don’t know if this has been mentioned before but it’s a nice safety feature. When a door is opened the multicolour ambient lighting in the Mk4 Focus changes to red. When the door is closed again it returns to whatever colour was originally set (In this case Ice Blue). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Does it change if your setting is already Red? Personally I don't see the point, but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcaouolte Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 It's not a new feature on the Mk4, my Mk3 pre-facelift does the same. Possibly a legal requirement to avoid showing anything other than a red light to the rear of the vehicle when the door is open? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I'm on red anyway, doesn't mess up,your night vision as much as blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Now, if your lady has left her handbag on the passenger floor, does it automatically play some 80s disco? 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcaouolte Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 My lady and I are of an age where we mainly listen to 80s disco to remind us of our youth. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I also listen to a lot of 80s disco... I blame GTA Vice City though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FezMan Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I have red anyway as I feel like its the brightest (I like to be able to see it!) Id like to use the green but its very dim compared Anyone agree that there is absolutely 0% difference in the orange and red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Orange Fury ST, so everything is saying use orange, but I love the purple colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcaouolte Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I cycle through a different colour each day as we approach Christmas (not yet) to help getting into the festive spirit. Usually I use the dark blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
