10 seconds. The Leaving Home Function is also switched off after the ignition is
switched on and after locking the vehicle.
If no door is opened within 30 seconds, the lights go out and the vehicle is locked
automatically.

the light sensor recognizes the low light intensity,

no reverse gear is engaged,
