Parking lights
Headlight control in position for parking lights
The parking lights (the license plate lights also come on) can be turned on even when the ignition is switched off.
Turn the headlight control to the center position (the license plate lighting comes on at the same time).
The lighting also comes on when the trunk is opened in order to alert anyone traveling behind your vehicle.
