    A very small light comes on by the sos button in the prime advanced...its not the cabin lights ...its almost like a pinpoint light that we spotted in the dark...turns off with the headlights...any idea what it's for?

    Are you talking about the little light that illuminates the shift knob? Put you hand over the shift knob and see if it shines on your hand.

    I love the little, shift knob spotlight. I think the car was designed around it! :rolleyes:
