no it does not light up,
but you know right where it is, right next to the door lock button.
i also at first found it annoying that the steering wheel controls did not light up, but i have memorized them already, so its no big deal.
after you get used to a car, you know where everything is without looking.
although i still occasionally reach for that hand lever parking break that is not their when going to start or parking. :lol:
