The headlamp switch-off delay utilizes the low beam together with the peripheral lights (if equipped) to illuminate the area surrounding the vehicle. The function is activated by operating the high beam lever when the ignition switch is in the "0" position.
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 set values at the factory and cannot be re-programmed using the Ford diagnostic unit.
