I remember that when the car was closed, and I was pushing again the lock button on the remote, the lights in the car were going briefly on. Now, no matter what I do, they don't go on.

Anybody knows what changed? How to restore the original setting?

i think there is some kind of timer and logic seqence controling that part...
if i lock the car and imediately open it the lights come ON,,
if i lock and repeat the lock button imediately after the light stay OFF..
if i lock the car and come back in ten minutes and presss the lock button again the lights come ON...
this is my observation...i havnt read the manual to see what the idea behind themm..

The lights should come on if you unlock your door otherwise there would be a problem agree?

if i lock and repeat the lock button imediately after the light stay OFF.

Normal because doing this you are disabling your interior motion sensor which you can tell by your red light under your mirror flashes quickly for a few second and normal after that. This does not trigger your interior lights to come on.

if i lock the car and come back in ten minutes and presss the lock button again the lights come ON...

Normal and our car should behave like this

So nobody experienced the same problem? Interior lights not coming on when car is locked and lock button is pushed again?
