Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

So I parked my car for dinner tonight and got out and the car started beeping at me saying my parking lights were on. I checked the light switch, it was turned off. Turned the light switch on and off a couple of times, nothing, still the same message.So I start the car again hoping it'll fix itself. Turns out I had my turn signal activated and that causes the parking lights to stay on when you take the key out. I turn off my turn signal and the car is fine. Seems like weird programming for the turn signal/lights. So next time someone has the same issue, check your turn signal.

POST 2Original post

Had the same thing happen to me. Took me a while to figure it out also.

POST 3Original post

I was at work when that happened to me. Someone told my lights were on and I had a hell of a time figuring it out. I agree that it is a bug.

POST 4Original post

This is good to know for those of us who have yet to have had the experience. It will surely save us some trauma. Thanks Russ

POST 5Original post

Yeah... Thanks guys for sharing /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif

POST 6Original post

That's normal for all European cars so you can leave the parking lights on as a warningfortrafficwhen parking on narrow roads where the car is close to or even in the traffic lane. It's not a 'bug,' just irrelevant forUS streets & roads.

POST 7Original post

Happened to me too, took me about 5 minutes to work it out. I then looked through the manual the next day and dicovered this feature.

POST 8Original post

Wouldn't the parking light section on the light switch cover that option then? It's like having 2 switches for the same option but one was hidden. In my old Subaru, you could turn on the parking lights with a separate switch but it was needed because when you took the keys out of the ignition, all the lights would go off regardless of what position the light switch was in.

POST 9Original post

Yes happened to me and I couldn't figure it out until I remembered my rental car in Italy.

POST 10Original post

right turn signal activates only right hand side parking lights left turn signal activates only left hand side parking lights whereas the parking light switch activates all of them. Have this feature in almost all my cars, though I have never, ever used it or seen anyone using it.
