Additional context: where ambient lighting appears and how to adjust
Ambient lighting typically appears in door panels, footwells, instrument clusters, and the center console area. In Mach-E and other newer vehicles, drivers can often choose from multiple colors and set lighting brightness via the infotainment system or instrument cluster; other models may offer a more limited color palette or fixed tones. Always verify the feature with the specific year and trim.
