Switch position

the vehicle lamps light
up on all sides, e.g., for parking.
Do not use the parking lamps for extended periods; otherwise, the battery may become discharged and it would then be impossible to start the engine.
When parking, it is preferable to switch on the one-sided roadside parking lamps.
When the driver's door is opened with the ignition switched off: the exterior lighting is automatically switched off when the light switch is in position 0, 2 or 3.
Switch on the parking lamps if necessary, switch position 1.
