deniseb90 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi! So I've just picked up (2 days ago) my new Ford Fiesta Zetec Ecoboost and have only just realised that it hasn't got ambient lighting? I had a Fiesta Zetec Ecoboost on a 13 plate and that had it. I've just rung Ford who were pretty clueless and said I should ring my dealer, which I did, who said that I should come in so they could sort it out - thing is, I'm not sure the zetec actually has ambient lighting lol! Any ideas? And if so, how do I reset it/turn it on without a trip to the dealers? Thanks! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Welcome to the site Denise! My wifes 65 plate Fiesta Zetec has it. Let the dealer check it out. If you go onto Ford Etis you can put your reg in and get your cars factory build data and see what it has and hasnt got. https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do;jsessionid=338803250ACE506E06B845ACF1256ABB.fcvas512 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniseb90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks Wes180! My reg isn't coming up yet as I only picked it up a couple of days ago - I can't see the small red lights on the interior light section which was where they were when I had my 2013 Zetec? I have a feeling it doesn't come with it - which is misleading as the Ford Fiesta Brochure says it's standard (even though it was last updated in 2015) - can I hold Ford to that? Frustrating I know, even thought it's a minor point, I thought the ambient light looked nice. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Are you selecting 'Vehicle' on the top then putting your reg in on this screen? It should be on there but if not then your cars VIN number will bring it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniseb90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi - yes I put my reg in but it didn't recognise it (I guess it was only registered last week) - I'll have to get the VIN number later (I'm at work at mo) and see what comes up.

deniseb90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 It says in the Fiesta brochure that Zetec should come with ambient lighting so somewhere inside that settings thing is a button I need to press - but gawd knows where the little red lights are because I can't see them. I think Ford have given me a Style by mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I dont think the lights are visible until they are on. Im in work too! It will come up off the VIN either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniseb90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Will check later when I'm home - hope I've got them - it looked good on my '13 plate Zetec! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniseb90 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Had a look with the VIN and it says less lighting pack, does that mean I haven't got it? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 My wifes build says Less Lighting Packages too but under that it says Interior Lighting-Ambient LED's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deniseb90 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Naughty because ford brochure for zetec says it should, but misleading. Ah well. Thank you anyway for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I think there brochure should be withdrawn in that case. Very misleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Im sorry Denise, just wondering if we are talking about different things now. I was thinking Ambient Lighting is the illuminated red strip on the dash and red illuminated door pockets. Is that what you mean too or are you referring to the full ambient package including cup holders etc. Do you know if your car is SYNC3? I was just reading this and the lighting is switchable via the touch screen if you have that? https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/sync-3/settings/adjusting-ambient-lighting-in-sync-3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniseb90 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 No I was just talking about the red strip, not cup holders. I've got the normal sync, not the sync 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss max Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 If sync 2 Denise I think it can be turned on and off via the main screen settings. I could be wrong. often am. but still worth a check. My car 16 plate Tit focus which has ambient single colour. door pockets. Door handles. footwell. overhead. but no blummin cup holder light of any description. Welcome by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
