Coming home lights not working?

Post by bwfly88 »

Hi, I picked my Roc up on Sat (very happy with it so far)
I've noticed my coming home lights do not seem to be working though.
The leaving home lights work fine, when I unlock the car the lights stay on for the set time (20 secs)
However when I turn the ignition off the lights turn off automatically even tho I have the coming home lights set to stay on for 20 secs in the settings function.
Am I missing something here or do you think there is a problem with the car?
Thanks!

Think you have to flash the main beam once before turning off ignition?

I turned my leaving lights off - if i've managed walk to the car door without them, then why put them on? I suppose unlocking remotely from a distance puts the lights on before you're there, but it seems a little gimmicky to me, and I do have a street light right outside my house!
