How do I adjust the Ambient Lighting in my Ford?

You can adjust your interior lighting using your SYNC^®* system (if equipped) or with the buttons on your overhead console (vehicles without SYNC).

This feature allows you to personalize your vehicle interior. It turns on when the ignition and the headlamps are switched on, and, depending on your vehicle, it illuminates:

Cupholders.
Door map pockets and release handles.
Front and rear footwells.
Console storage.
Passenger-side instrument panel light bars.
Media bins.

Changing Your Vehicle's Ambient Lighting

Select your SYNC generation from the drop-down options below to learn how to adjust the Ambient Lighting in your vehicle.

Notes:

If you need assistance determining the generation of your SYNC system, select the first drop-down option.
The Ambient Lighting for 2017-2019 Ford F-150 vehicles is limited to Ice Blue color only and the intensity cannot be adjusted.

Manual Controls

The Ambient Lighting control is located on the overhead console. To choose a color:

Turn the center control knob until you feel a slight indent.
Once the lights come on, twist it in either direction to adjust the brightness.
Press the Color button (painter's palette) to scroll through your color choices.

Note: Instructions may vary depending on your vehicle's year and model. For specific information, refer the Lighting section of your Owner's Manual.

^*Don’t drive while distracted. Use voice-operated systems when possible; don’t use handheld devices while driving. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear. Not all features are compatible with all phones.
