General Follow Me Lights

[AndyWigan]

Was giving the inside of the car a good clean the other day. Hoovered, scrubbed, washed, rubbed etc all the inside. As I was wiping over the dash with those 'shine' clothes I knocked the headlight stalk back (as if I was flashing someone) but the ignition was off. As I did it the digital display lit up saying 'Follow me 30s' so I spent the next 1/2 an hour wondering what it was.

Only later found out from the manual that it illuminated the headlights for 30 seconds, 60, 120 seconds etc (depending on how many times you click the stalk back).

Pretty neat idea for when you've parked up at night in a dark carpark etc so you can see where your walking. So, has anyone used this function yet?

Also, I was wondering if there are any other 'hidden' functions of the car which I probably havnt found yet.

Yeah I use them quite often cause I think they look good. Follow me's have been around for many years, I still remember the early rover 800 adverts in the early 90's, this was one of the main features of the car!

Pull the headlight knob back while pulling the handbrake on and dipping the clutch at same time, and your car will transform into a T-Rex

I just found a silver thing that pops out of my keyfob makes the lights on my dash light up if I put it into the lock type thing I just found down near my right knee on the steering column! Hell it would be SO cool if it started the engine when I turn it.....
