Instrument Cluster Lights
I have notices on other C5's that when you open the driver's door the instrument cluster lights will come on also. Anyone know how to turn this feature on? On my car it doesn't come on. TIA for any help.

As far as I know it comes on at max brightness even if you have the panel lights turned down on the rotary ****. Do you have approach lights selected off? Not sure if this would affect the door activated courtesy lamps but worth checking.
Approach Lights
Press the OPTIONS button until APPROACH LIGHTS
appears on the display, then use the RESET button to
page through the following choices:
APPROACH LIGHTS ON
APPROACH LIGHTS OFF
If you choose APPROACH LIGHTS ON, the fog lamps,
front turn signal, rear back-up and courtesy lamps will
come on for 30 seconds when you press UNLOCK on
the remote keyless entry transmitter. This will occur
only when it is dark outside.
APPROACH LIGHTS OFF turns off this option.

Mine comes on when the door is opened - no special settings that I have found at least.
