Who knew that the little black button on the ignition switch on the Cinq, apperently the Panda (and other models) operates the parking lights when you press it, turn the key towards you and remove the key?

I knew from the day I owned my Bravo.
Reason: My sister owned a Punto a few years ago with a problem where the battery was being drained. The daft bint was leaving the ignition in the park position everytime she got out of the car!!!!

Do new FIATs still have this function? Or is it on the Headlight switch nowadays?
I can't think of a marque I've had that didn't use that system.
But this is the first car I've owned with 'follow you home' lights.

My punto has it too and the 'follow me home' function as mentioned above.

I'm not sure of a way to do that, when you get out set the follow me home thing and then lock as normal and they go off after a bit.

well i be b**gered, i was only saying to wifey a day or two ago i'm surprised the punto hasn't got parking lights, as didn't the cinqy
as a safety feature, i'm not sure if its a legal requirement on cars or not, but was disappointed it wasn't there. although hardly ever neededit.
do like the way it turns me lights off with ignition though.
thought that button was for key release, and thought both cars had worn it out as not needed.
got to go, off out to driveway to play with my new found knowledge
cheers mate, IT WORKS. just a shame you can't use left or right with indicator like most brands, never mind, chuffed to have found them with your pointer. nice one.

Even my bikes back in the 1970s had the parking light feature. Turn the key left and remove to put side lights on but ignition is locked. VWs and Audis will light the left or the right side lights if you leave the indicator on when you turn off the ignition and remove the key. Does the same job but 1/2 the battery drain.
