Volkswagen ID.4: Parking lights

If the parking light function is switched on, both headlights will come on, along with the parking lights, sections of the taillights, the license plate light and various buttons in the vehicle interior. The automatic headlights are activated from a speed of around 10 km/h (6 mph) or after driving a distance of around 100 m (approx. 328 feet).

If the vehicle is not locked from the outside when the ignition is switched off, the continuous parking lights on both sides of the vehicle will turn on automatically after approximately ten minutes to reduce the load on the 12 V vehicle battery (→ Parking light).

2. Left-hand parking light switched on.

Switching on a parking light on one side of the vehicle

When the parking light is switched on, the headlight on that side of the vehicle will turn on as well as the side light and sections of the taillight. As a rule, a parking light lit on only one side of the vehicle can remain lit for twice as long as continuous parking lights on both sides of the vehicle:

1. Switch the ignition off.

2. Move the turn signal and high beam lever from the center position to the required position→ fig. 1.

Switching on the continuous parking lights on both sides of the vehicle

When the continuous parking lights on both sides of the vehicle are switched on, both headlights will turn on as well as the side lights and sections of the taillights:

1. Switch on the parking light .

2. Switch the ignition off.

3. Lock the vehicle from the outside.

Automatic side or parking light deactivation

The vehicle detects that the 12 V vehicle battery is low and switches off the parking lights or continuous parking lights early enough to ensure that the vehicle's drive system can still be activated, but not until at least two hours have passed.

If the battery capacity is not enough for the parking lights or continuous parking lights to run for two hours, the 12 V vehicle battery may drain to such an extent that the vehicle's drive system can no longer be activated → .

WARNING

If the vehicle is stopped with insufficient lighting so that it cannot be seen or is difficult for others on the road to see, this can cause accidents and serious injuries or death.

• Always stop the vehicle safely and with enough lighting.
• Follow the country-specific legal regulations.
• If you need the vehicle to be lit for several hours, switch on the right-hand and/or left-hand parking light if possible.
