Question 2016 Accord Coupe headliner LED?

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum but been driving Accord coupes since forever...


Just got new 2016 Accord Coupe EX w/Sensing and can't find the answer to this question in the printed manual or on the CD.


There's a red LED on the headliner between the moon roof controls and the interior lighting control switch. It's not the LED used by the HomeLink system which is closer to the windshield than this one.


Some times this LED is on and other times not. Can't figure out what settings turn it on or off or what it's trying to tell me.


Anybody..?


Thanks!

Ambient/courtesy lighting, which is on when the parking lights or headlights are on. Coupes have red lighting, sedans have blue lighting.

Thanks for the response.


It's a tiny little LED so -aside from annoying me- it's too small to give any useful light. And there's are nice indicators on the dashboard to show when and which exterior lights are on, so why is this red LED even needed?


I don't have the interior floor/pedal or doorstep lights which would be more useful than that LED.

As stated, it is an ambient/courtesy light, Honda started putting them in with the 8th generation Accords (e.g., 2008 - ).
