Does anyone have a list of options the service centre can set?

I think Lorian or someone posted a bit of a list on here recently.. hopefully someone reads this and reposts..(Unless i'm thinking of a Hybrid forum I was checking out  :wink:)

I thought the follow home function would still turn the lights on and off with the ignition except that it would leave the headlights on for an extra 30 secs when you get out ...(some have made big efforts to convert older models to do just that..) so surprised you got it disabled  :eek:

My SLX doesn't have the auto on lights so I don't know how they work with the follow home function.
My follow home function also turned on the lights when you unlock the car.
My current situation does not require this feature (auto house lights), I also grew up with unreliable batteries and I don't feel comfortable having the lights on without the engine running.
Old myths and perceptions are hard to change at my age.

Fair call .. I must be a similar vintage I won't run the audio for long (or the lights) with the engine off for the same reason... :wink:

it must be the way we were brought up around older cars. i don't like to sit with the radio on for to long either. i left my interior light on all day at work once and the car started without a problem.  :razz:

you could probably leave it on for several days without a problem,i bet the interior light lens would melt but.  :idea:
