Get in your car and look at the left indicator stalk, Does if have a P on it? If so Put the lever indicating left and then push back to instigate main beam, Get out and lock the car the Left lights are on, Do the same again but for the right. :D :D :D

Just turn the car off and leave the indicator on, should leave the left or right sidelight on.

Never used it.

Ultimately yes. Should last hours though.

It's a safety feature so that at night when you parking in a dark lit road you leave on the side light that is opposite to the kerb, warns drivers that there is a car in the road or at least make it easier to spot from distance - i do it most times and the battery doesn't seem to be drained if at all :?

Prior to me having a car with this feature i always noticed the "german" cars that is parked on the streets with one light on and always told myself - " if you can afford to drive such a car why not change your parks out when they fuse" not knowing it was a safety feature :lol:
