| Cancelling 'follow me home' lights |
|
discovered purely by accident today  ...
turn the key fully off, so the lights come back on, then turn the key back to the first detent, then off again and take out the key... 'follow me home' cancelled ! great for those supermarket car-park "you've left your lights on mate...." moments

or if your LR button is still in default mode... just give it a press when your told your lights are on and amaze them as they go off by remote

I use the cancel as outlined in the manual. Turn the lights off before the ignition or having turned the ignition off and activated the follow me just turn the light switch on and off – voilà cancelled. D3 gone for now

yep, it works but it's a bit of a faff to muck about with two switches when it can be done with one

Hope that you at least have the decency to drink real beer not that warm frothy meal in a glass that is mostly served in the UK.
