Is it possible to alter the ambient lighting in the Puma? The manual suggests there should be an option but I can't find it.

I wonder if the salesman was mistaken during my initial test drive but I'm sure he said the ambient lighting changed depending on the drive mode (eco, sport, etc) but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Haven't seen any changes in ambient lighting or options to change.

Perhaps the sales person was on about the change in display graphics on the dash screen depending upon mode.

So, you don't have any Sync settings to adjust the ambient lighting then?

No setting on my Sync 3 but pretty sure it’s been on my previous car with Sync 3

Yeah. It's odd. It shows it both in the paper and online manuals and Ford UK have told me it should be there... but it's not.

That's the one.

So, yeah. I had the ambient lighting button on my Ford Focus a good few years ago. However, as my Puma is top-spec, I just assumed it must be there. Why put it in the manual of none of the Pumas have it? Odd.

There's owners with all sorts of software glitches,
and missing functions that don't work.

It's like Ford just use a generic manual that isn't edited correctly or is approved and printed before build sign off.

None of this helps either the sales staff or owners.

True. I knew the paper manual was a mess but I thought the electronic one was better.

Oh well. No harm here - I didn't buy it on the strength of the internal lighting 😆

Thanks for confirming all of this for me.

Welcome.

It would be nice to have stuff you were told was there though.

Wonder if anyone will take theirs back under the 'trade descriptions act' or such like.... 😁
