deactivation of the exterior lights

Parking lights
The parking lights operate when the
ignition key is at STOP or ACC, or with
the key removed.
They are activated by turning the light
switch to position .
It is harder to turn the switch to
position than to the other
positions. This is to avoid activating the
parking lights unintentionally and
waste power.
When the parking lights are on, the
warning light illuminates on the
instrument panel.
When the parking lights are on, if you
lower the left-hand lever, only the
DRLs on the left-hand side are
activated, while when if you move the
lever up only the DRLs on the right-
hand side are activated.
