Headlamp delay feature

~1min read

Switch off the ignition and pull the turn signal lever towards the steering wheel to turn on the headlamps. You will hear a short audible signal. The headlamps will switch off automatically after 3 minutes if any door is open, or 30 seconds after the last door is closed.

If all doors are closed but the 30-second headlamp delay period has not yet elapsed, opening any door will reset the 3-minute delay.

To cancel the headlamp delay feature, pull the turn signal lever towards the steering wheel again or switch on the ignition.
