S4 Door Warning Lights

[chrisb72]

This might be a basic question, but I have just noticed that the red warning lights in my door sills are not eliminating when the doors are opened. I think I have been too preoccupied by the 4 rings puddle lights to notice!!
I am assuming these are lights and not just reflectors? I can't find any settings in the menus to turn them off so I am a bit confused. I can't find anything written in the manual either!

Assuming they are the same as my S5 then they are 'passive' reflectors

Thanks. I had lights in the doors on my S3 so just assumed the S4 would have them as well

Same with my old B8 A5 oil burner, budget cuts!

They can be retro fitted https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/a5-a4-b9-door-warning-light-retrofit.376871/
At last a question that a read of the manual cannot resolve ;-)

I mentioned this to Audi themselves in a little list of things that were slightly annoying. Thing is, my wife got an S-Line A3 around the same time as I got the S4 and she has illuminated door sills AND the door warning lights. I was not best pleased to discover this. Nice to see there's a workaround, thanks cuke2u
