When the system is enabled and it is dark, the corresponding exterior lights
switch on as soon as the driver's door is opened.
The exterior lights will stay on for up to a maximum of 2 minutes as long as
one of the doors or the tailgate is open.
The exterior lights stay on for about 30 seconds to light up the area in front of
the car after all the doors and the tailgate have been closed.

will not go out if the coming home is enabled. This will lead to battery
discharge and vehicle breakdown.
