Default interior ceiling lights not coming on when doors opened

How do a get the headliner lights to come on at night when I open the cars doors. It used to happen but then it stopped doing it. I have the Prestige A6 2012 model and only the ambiant side door and footvell loghting comes on.

just to clarify the post, in the overhead panel there are 4 push buttons, one for each of the two map reading lights, one to turn the overhead lights on and off and one to activate/deactivate the door switches. It is the last switch that you will need to press in to make the lights come on when the doors are open.

FWIW, I went though the same exercise until I checked the manual. It's described in there.
