there is no question about the purpose of this feature.

my criticsim is about how it's a hidden feature ..
and one could return to a car with depleted battery, not realizing the
turn signal switch of some porsche cars has this hidden feature.

I'm glad to have small parking lights on one side or the other..
WHEN I TELL THEM to be on, such as my Mercedes has.
