Interior light problem

Today, I noticed that my lights do not turn off when I close doors and start engine.
To turn off I have to switch button to OFF(left side). On the middle position (doors open) of button, lights is working.
What might happen ?
it's happening first time for me.
THanks,

Are all of the lights staying on or just one or two?

You may want to double check and make sure you or someone didn't turn on one of the lights manually - by pushing it up toward ceiling (toggle).

all of them: front and rear.
I suspect a fuse.
Is there any list or diagram of fuse box ?

Do the lights turn off when you park the car, close the door and lock the doors? It almost sounds like there is a break in the circuit somewhere or one of your door pin switches isn't working properly. In other words the lights stay on, because "a door is open."
In terms of the fuse box listing - it's in your owners manual and at least for the fuse box under the hood, it's under the cover.

If door was open, I should get message on central display. But, it doesnot.

Most likely the switch is messed up. I know on mine, I have the oposite. The lights do not like to turn on and I have to tap the on-auto-off switch for it to work. So most likely the switch is your problem.

Nice What's better than an easy fix? Although, admittedly I'm surprised this fixed it.
