Good afternoon,

Brand new Mach E owner here, picked up a 23 Premium on Friday.

I have noticed several times when I walk around the car, (going for a walk, or taking the dogs out) the running lights come on.

I’ve tried turning off off the warning sensor in the settings but it still happens.

Anyone have any suggestions ?

Leave your key fob inside. Or, turn off BT on your phone if you have PaaK setup.

This has nothing to do with the Pony projection?

Was wondering about this behavior to. It activates light even when I walk next to it through bushes in my garden.

As long as it doesn't unlock without phone or FOB I actually don't care.

It doesn't unlock with either.

HOWEVER, if you are within PaaK bluetooth distance, and someone pushes a door button, it will open. FOB has to be within a very short distance, but PaaK has a much longer reach.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

Very useful in a carpark at night.
The horn/light combo is great too but seems to annoy people.

At least once a week someone tells me, "Your lights are on:....."
