I am sure the light in the boot area (nearer the accessory socket) comes on too.

Thanks, yes the boot area light could well come on but it's obscured by the boot liner and dog box which sort of fill the boot quite nicely!

I asked this question a while back and there was a feeling that they went off by themselves after 10 minutes (they don't on mine).

In the manual it talks about a double press of the remote locki g the car with the internal sensors deactivated for when you have dogs onboard. I wonder if this would work with the boot open allowing the car to go I to sleep mode and shut off the lights? [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

Would something like this http://www.ventlock.com/tailgatelock.php help? It allows the car to go into sleep mode with the dog inside (you can double press to turn the alarm off). It also stops anyone from opening the rear window (although you should have a decent enough dog for that too! ).

Your rear interior lights go out after a timed period (around 10 mins), then they are activated by the interior alarm sensor. Meaning, you leave your boot open unloading your shopping after 10mins the lights shut off, as you get to the rear of the car and your ultrasonic alarm sensor see's you, it turns them back on! Simples... Only problem is, the ultrasonics see your dog moving too!!! Try the double lock thing and see if that helps further? Or leave the sunroof open instead? Craig |

Craig, What happens if you want them to stay off for the entire time you have the tailgate open?

For information, the switch for the lights is actually part of the tailgate lock.

Another quick thought, latch the boot lid whilst its open using a screwdriver (or your key) then they may switch off?

Simple option, open sunroof up and open a window a little and close the boot? Fresh air will still get in and dog will be fine might be knackers cold inside though with all the heat escaping.
