2 quick lighting questions

NikTheGeek said:

Hi, should there be a lights left on alarm? So that my wife doesn't leave them on when she's driving? It does flash "parking lights" if you leave them on and turn the ignition off, but no alarm or anything.

Secondly, should the side light/headlight switch be illuminated? Mines not. Just wondered if it had a bulb that was blown.

tnx

I get the three beeps when side lights are left on then another beep to let me know the key is in when the door is opened.

Just the three beeps if with message and no key in then door opened.

Although I have headlight delay on mine to if dipped was left on and key taken out before flipped to off

Liked the fact that it's only SWMBO who might leave the lights on.

It is! Every time she drives it there's something:

Leaves the lights on. Complains about parking it. Yesterday it was "there's a warning about a fuse blown for the rear screen". Works for me. Last week it was "SRS warning". I've *never* had an SRS warning.

Don't know what she does with it!!

I know this might be a novel idea, so don't shout at me BUT can't she just check when she switches the ignition off that she has switched the lights off? It's what I have relied on for decades of driving.

Don't be ridiculous. We're talking about a female woman of the opposite persuasion here.
