It's stupid they didn't put a few second delay when going from OFF or Auto to ON (or put Parking next in the sequence after OFF).

Little things like this make me remember why my old Audi was so nice.

+ Rep to the first person who figures out how to rewire the stalk harness to rearrange the lighting order.
If you decide to turn your lights on in a dark location, wouldn't they turn on with the "Auto" feature? So why would you need to switch them all the way to "On"?

If you want them on, and they don't come on when you switch to Auto, THEN you could switch them to On. I don't see a problem.

I agree with you. However, the only problem is when you switch from the on position back down to off position the lights will go of and then on again when the switch goes passes the auto position.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. In general, this would just discourage me from using the "On" position, more than anything.

I do agree that their arrangement could be better.
