I've just asked this same question in the V60/XC60 forum. I think it might be related to having the Winter Illumination pack, not just Winter Pack, or having auto dimming side mirrors specced? If you have this light do you have the mirrors too?

My V60 has this light behind the console, but doesn't seem to work that I have noticed (only discovered the lens 3 days ago!) But my car does not have any lens in door pockets or the auto dimming exterior mirrors.
I need to have a proper look at my cup holders and cubby holes now.

I may not now! Noticed the light behind the console was on tonight when engine was on, but only then. Brighter than I thought it'd be as well. Nothing in cup holders, cubby holes, door pockets or down from rear passenger compartment lights though.

You encouraged me to look at mine in the dark.
Like yours a light is on👍 So dim, it is hardly useful🤔
Like yours there are no door handle or door pocket lights.
No wonder I couldn't see it in the day light 🙄🙄

My 2011 V70 Rdesign storage area behind the radio lights up along with the footwell lights when you unlock/open the doors. When the engine starts that storage area light goes off and the footwell lights dim but stay on.
