I'm pretty sure that can't be turned off. Unless I've totally missed a setting. I tend to reach up and turn off the light manually when someone steps out :\

All you have to do is when the interior light comes on (door open) press and hold the on and off switch for about 3 to 4 secs and then let go after that the interior light won't come on again until you hit the on and off switch again.

Ya I thought that was the case... I never looked into it cuz I like the lights to turn on. but my old 2003 "BMW" can be set just like that by holding down the button for couple seconds.
