Hi, new Alhambra owner here. It's an SE L model. Jumping to a 2019 car from a 2009 car, I'm struggling with all of the electronics as we don't use a car that much, and the manual isn't helping.

I have the interior light control set to the the middle "Door contact connection" selection. Nothing happens with any door opening, nor when I unlock the car. The lights work as expected with the other settings.

We've also had an intermittent issue where the electronic boot doesn't close properly; it closes but doesn't lock, and other times where it simply won't open.

I'm wondering if, for the lights, there's a setting I'm missing somewhere, but the boot may be more of an electrical issue (although it's only intermittently happening)?

Thanks a lot,

Mark.
