Default Door Open Indication

My DIS used to show each door individually if one was left open but just recently just shows all doors even if it is just one Any clues anyone?

Lock the car and unlock it. Should help.
If it does't -- disconnect battery to 'reset' the ECU.
Happened to me a couple of times. Looks like a software bug.

Thanks Sergei, It seems to have been triggered in the first instance by low battery state which I am sure happened around the same time.

OK, just checked that: the internal lights work as they should .....and the door indication is now working correctly!!
I am wondering whether the indication was linked to that fuse and although I have noted the indication issue over the last week or so I hadnt noticed the lights issue as I have used the car infrequently and never in the dark just lately.

Mine does that after the battery is reconnected. Closing all the doors then opening one of them appears to reset it and then it behaves itself.

Its an 'undocumented software feature', not a 'bug'
