Default Ambient lighting question

Hello, I have a new Q7 and I notice that my ambient lighting changed color from Blue to Red while I was driving on the highway 1 night. On one of the videos I found, they said that the colors changed when the blind spot sensors were activated, but I have not been able to reproduce the color change again. Does anyone know what changes the colors while driving?

Thank you

What year?
My 2015 has not had this issue, and by that, you mean the door trim and foot well lights?

The car is a new 2019, and the lighting is all the ambient lighting.. I have it set with blue lighting and it turned red for a few seconds. Not sure if that was because of a glitch or not.

one of the settings allows the lighting to change by drive mode, so if you’re using “auto” for drive mode, it will change colors as it switches from dynamic to comfort for example.

click menu, vehicle, then the ] button to the left of your MMI ****, scroll down to I think it’s cslled vehicle settings, and ambient lighting is one. From there you can choose your light color

I haven't been in a newer than 2015 audi, so had to look this up (I really dig that white!). This video explains it well, including how all the settings work:

Default Lights won't stay on

Hi just got a 2018 audi q7 and was messing about with the ambient lighting but it would only stay on for a couple seconds before it would turn off any reasons why and how to resolve this problem?
