Switching one-sided parking lights on and off

Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights  
The vehicle detects a weak 12-volt battery and switches off the side lights or parking lights in good time so that the vehicle’s drive  
system can still be activated – however, at the earliest after two hours.  
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on for two hours, the 12-volt vehicle  
battery may discharge so far that the vehicle’s drive system can no longer be activated →
