Also if u try to turn on the headlights when the key is on off mode it wont turn on. The only case to turn the headlight on is to pull the lever and so it goes in to the home coming mode of the headlight operation which will inevidently switch itself off in 30/60/90 or the number of displayed seconds.
Hence the headlight turning off in 10-20 mins is not a possibility. Ya the interior lights and the parking light will turn itself off in few minutes if left on by mistake. |
This has already been cleared before on this thread only. VP by mistake mentioned headlights in place of cabin lights, so the confusion.

I had a feeling about this coz even when we drive off with any door being open, it takes about 2-3 mts before the longish beep comes. So I think we can safely say that for any error there will be a warning beep but after some 2-3 mts and not immediately.

This problem is not there when i switch off the car and try to start again (say within 5-10 seconds). Rest the problem still persists. |

Prash we have Emotion so I dont know if there is any difference in your car vis-a-vis our car coz of Blue&Me. But I have two things to say:
1) Dont worry about initial load on battery during starting if ICE is on as when we crank then only supply to starter motor is given. Everything else including the lights and even the AC are momentarily switched off till the time we release the key from its start position. And BTW its not a big feature as its there in all cars including the small ones (Alto and the likes).
2) Secondly one thing that I've noticed is that when we switch off the ICE before switching off the car then it doesn't restart automatically the next time the car is started. And if the ICE is running when we switch off the car then it restarts. Maybe you can try this.
So dont get anxious over such a small thing. Your battery wouldn't be damaged if you start with the ICE on. In our case most of the times the ACC is also on while starting.

Mine is a MJD emotion Pack Linea |
We got our Linea in May and it didn't carry the sticker. AFAIK there aren't any stickers now also. You just have the pressures given in the manual. Anyway why dont you ask Forbhaskarm about the stickers as he's the newest owner here.

True, you just have to pull the lights stalk towards you and with every subsequent pulls you increase the time by 30 sec's till a maximum of 210 sec's. However VP one thing that you forgot to tell Jaisha (maybe you too dont know this
) is that this
pulling of stalks has to be done within 30 sec's (or was it 1min'?) of switching off the car.
And I'll let you guys in on another trade secret
(I guess I'm the only one who's read the manual completely)- if you want to cancel the
'coming home lights' (what its actually known as and not 'follow me home'!) then keep the stalk pulled for 2 sec's.

I believe it is so that the other plastic panels around it can be removed. However I have no concrete source for this. So can anyone carry it forward from here?
