The purpose of this feature is to prevent the battery from discharging if the lights are left ON. The function automatically shuts off the parking lights once the engine is off and the driver’s door is opened.

The position lamps, however, will stay ON if you operate the light switch after turning the engine OFF, even when the driver’s door is open.

To keep the lights on after turning off the engine, turn the position lamps OFF and ON again using the headlamp switch on the steering column.
