Headlamp switch-off delay

In vehicles with mid to high-end equipment, the headlamp switch-off delay uses the dipped beam headlamps and the door entry illumination (if equipped) to illuminate the vehicle surroundings.

This function is activated by operating the main beam headlamp lever with the ignition switched off.

After the last door has been closed, the function remains active for a further 30 seconds and then switches off automatically.

When a door or the tailgate is open, the switch-off time is extended to 180 seconds. After the last door has been closed, the switch-off time is reset to 30 seconds.

The headlamp switch-off delay can be deactivated prematurely by operating the high beam lever again or by switching on the ignition.

The switch-off time is adjusted to fixed values at the factory and can not be re-programmed using WDS.
