How to enable parking lights

Is it me, or can I just not find a way to put the parkinglights on when I have left and locked the vehicle? This in case of parking alongside the road when it is dark?
On my BMW and MINI I can just put the indicator stalk (when ignition off) in the up or down position for resp. the left or right parking light.
The battery of the evoque can't be that bad that they deleted this option Shocked

See the "Vehicle Set-up" option on the instrument panel menu. It's the "Headlamp delay" setting you need I believe.

I think this only has 3 intervals, not an "always on" option. But I will check it. Thanks

They're not parking lights really, they're for keeping the lights on while you walk to your door so you're not left in the pitch black once you lock the car, although I've never enabled it so could be wrong.

There are none as these things are not required in the UK, so unlike German manufacturers who fit them as they are required in Germany, they are not fitted. All you can do is to out the "sidelights on", but since they are all LED the power drain should be marginal. QuestionQuestion
