Key fob approach lights

[Johnny 5]

Does anyone know if Ranger6G's have key fob approach lighting like the F-150's ?
I can't seem to find any settings for it in my RR. My 2022 F-150 lit up like a Christmas tree when you were walking up to it with your key fob.

I would like this, however - I cannot find the setting. According to the 'Owners Manual':

Switching Welcome Lighting On and Off

Welcome lighting slowly turns on the exterior lamps when you approach your vehicle with an authenticated device or unlock the doors.

1. 
   Press the button on the touchscreen.

1. Press Vehicle.

1. Press Lighting.

1. Switch Welcome Lighting on or off

Here is a screen shot of my 'Lighting' settings. There is no "Welcome Lighting" Option:

Yeah my display doesn’t have the zone light setting like yours. Did you try opening zone lighting to see what options it gives you ? And you said you have a Ranger Raptor as well, correct ?

Look at your zone light settings.???

I just found my zone light setting. Funny, my wife's RR has things in different spots than mine, on the screen, and both are updated software ?. Anyways there is no setting on mine for approach lighting.

As DesertBumAZ mentioned, you approach lighting has to be enabled in ForScan. once enabled, the option for welcome lighting will appear in your settings.

There is no approach lighting setting on my screen, anywhere. I've changed every setting and when I walk towards my truck, with my keyfob in hand, my outside lights do not come on. They only come on when I unlock the truck with the keyfob. My F-150 lights automatically came on when the keyfob was about 20 feet away, without unlocking it.

Yes Raptor and No, no 'Approch' settings in there.

Its weird how some settings are present on some trucks but not others. My Ranger Raptor doesn't have the option for global windows but the XLT Ranger I had for a loaner had the setting

Please update our software FoMoCo. The RR knows when you close the door while it's running without the keyfob in it, then it obviously has the capability of recognizing the proximity of the keyfob in order to turn on our outside lights when we are walking up to it in the dark.

Warm Regards,

So just want to confirm if we want to activate approach lighting we have to change all 3 of these settings?
