CrashNash, are you talking the little yellow circle lights or are you talking about the larger lights that show 2 vehicles offset?
The circle lights should be on when you are at less than 5 mph and then should go off once you get above 5 mph. The offset car lights should not come on til above 5 mph. If it is the offset lights, you may want to look at the sensors in the rear bumper. Granted, from my experience, when you have an issue with those, you also get a warning message on the dash telling you that a sensor is blocked. But, that would also only affect one side of the car. From what you are describing, you either have a bad computer module or a wiring issue in the dash. Has there been any work done to the car in the last few days that would have had somebody working in/on the dash?

Thermo, thanks for the quick response.
The lights I am referring to are little yellow circle lights.
HOWEVER THANKS to THERMO, I went into the owner's manual and I JUST FIXED IT.
What had happened is that when I was going through my Vehicle Set up, I inadvertently turned of the blind spot monitoring system. I checked it back on and sure enough, the little yellow circle lights now go out above 5 MPH.
Thanks again.
