Coming home/leaving home lights??

[jakemckie]

Just wondered if this is possible with a 197 and if it's just a case of getting it programmed into the ecu? Thanks

You turn all your lights off and engine off and pull the stalk toward you like you are switching in main beam. 30 seconds for one pull, minute for two pulls etc. Maximum is 2 minutes so 4 pulls. I did read in my manual about it so I'm sure yours does have the function

Wondered this myself, will give it a go, pretty handy when lugging the little one and her stuff out in the dark

What is this for I don't understand?

Is this how long lights stay on for after you've turned the car off or something?

Yeah leaves the lights on once everything is off. To help you get your key in the door etc

My cup has (2009) and only basic lights.

Just tested mine and can confirm it works. I have FF though

That totally worked! Thank you!

I have a early 197 FF with reflectors only

Mine works. Although my car doesn't face the front door so bit pointless

Handy as it takes me precisely 30 seconds to get to my front door from where I park the car!

It only takes 30 seconds to walk across Exning!

Did I see you last week in your fiat?

 

[Deaks]

Wait, do you have to do this everytime you want the lights to stay on after you've turned off the car?

For example I went for one pull, locked car. They stayed on for 30 seconds. Then unlocked the car, expecting the lights to come back on. Nothing?

Yes, everytime you want them on.
