Published availability and qualifications
Verified for 2025 Ranger configurations equipped with exterior zone lighting. Vehicles without mirror puddle lamps have only two lighting zones.
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Open the Apps or Settings menu, depending on software version, and select Zone Lighting.
- 02
Use All Zones or the individual-zone controls to illuminate only the work area needed.
- 03
Scroll to Zone Lighting settings and choose whether Autolamp Override is allowed.
- 04
Set Include Reverse Lamps as needed; switch it off when a reverse-lamp-triggered backup alarm would otherwise sound.
Important limits
- Remove any lamp covers before use.
- With the truck off, a timer shuts lighting down to protect the 12-volt battery.
- The turn signals flash six times when one minute remains on the off-vehicle timer.
Quick checks.
- ✓If Zone Lighting is not under Apps, check Settings because its location depends on software version.
- ✓If a side zone is unavailable, the required exterior lamps are not installed.
- ✓If lighting switches off, restart it only after checking battery condition and the automatic timer.
