I just see it when I'm charging. It shows the state of charge for the vehicle.
I think he's referring to the light bar outside the car between the headlights. They light up when the headlights are on.

The light bar inside the car lights up as you said while charging, or when using voice commands and the navigation system(only when using the built-in NAV)

Yep, asking about the light strip outside the car between the highlights. Never seen it come on during a cloudy day when the auto highlights turn on. Does it only come on at night or do I need to make another trip to the dealer.

Just wait until the Chattanooga plant gets going and we have a new base model!

Funny, one of the things I rather like about the pro is none of the gimmicky lights in the front. I think the Merc badge looks stupid lit up at night, reminds me of yesteryear fluorescent signs for restaurants and ads. I am glad mine won’t light up!

Different strokes for different folks!

I wish there were a model year, trim, and location posted with each one who post on this forum. It would make it easier to respond since there are differences in trims and country location.
You can construct a signature like some of us have. ErickF pioneered that.

Just found out that the light strip and lighted emblem does not light up while the car is moving. It lights up only when it is parked and you unlock the car or change light switch to daytime running light while parked.

Can anyone confirm this? Am I wrong?

To me this is just a gimmick feature along with green status bar and ambient light.

Wish VW would use the development resources on adding more cameras (even my Sienna has a 360 camera system) and a better infotainment system (id4 infotainment system is far behind other competitors).

I see them on at night when driving (such as when the front of the car is reflected in a window)... I actually wish there was a way to turn it off in settings sometimes.

It’s kind of a cute gimmick with limited value other than sort of Jetson’s ambiance, which evidently VW, and nearly every other company making one, believes is necessary on a BEV. Personally I would appreciate better software, a few more physical controls, and regular OTA updates. The Jetson stuff should be put on a kids toy version.

It’s marketing over function. Unfortunate but widespread.
