Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
–  the  lights  will  go  out  automatically 
when  the engine  is switched  off, the 
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle 
is locked. In this case, the next time 
the engine is started the lights will be 
switched  back  on  according  to  the 
position of the ring  2.
NB: if the fog lights are lit, the lights are 
not switched off automatically.
“See-me-home lighting” 
function
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  this  func -
tion  allows  you  to  briefly  switch  on  the 
dipped  beam  headlights  (to  provide 
light when opening a gate, etc.).
With  the  engine  and  lights  off   and 
ring  2  in  the  0  position,  pull  stalk  1  to-
wards  you:  the  dipped  beam  head -
lights  light  up  for  approximately  thirty 
seconds.  To  increase  this  duration, 
you  may  pull  the  stalk  up  to  four  times 
(total  time  restricted  to  two  minutes). 
Depending on the vehicle, the message 
“See-me-home  _  _  _”  accompanied  by 
the  lighting  time  is  displayed  on  the  in-
strument panel to confirm the action.
To  switch  off  the  lights  before  they  go 
out automatically, turn ring  2 to any po-
sition, then return it to position  0.
lights-on reminder buzzer
If  the  lights  are  on  after  the  engine  is 
switched  off,  a  warning  beep  sounds 
when  the  driver ’s  door  is  opened  to 
warn you that the lights are still on.12
