The odd light is a combination door-entry and map light that swivels in different directions like an airline’s overhead reading light. The lens swivels 360 degrees to illuminate the driver and front passenger area; it’s activated by turning the base ring that also selects auto illumination modes. The light is an unusual configuration for a car light, but the uniqueness goes along with the rest of the iQ’s quirky styling, including the vertically stacked climate control knobs and armrest that mimics a manta ray’s fin.
