Hi,

Checked the manual, not very clear again. I can suss the coming home lights as I just pull the lever and that does the trick. However, when I approach the car and unlock it via the fob, only the internal lights come on - is this right as I thought the headlights would illuminate my way to the car - I leave my switch on AUTO- is this causing the problem. I have checked the lighting section in the dashdisplay and it shows a tick in the box?

Oh yes, there's no light in the boot - is this right in a car of this price???

Thanks.

Yes, for the leaving home light system to work the headlight light switch must be left in sidelights or headlights position and not auto. See page 4-63 of the Owner's Manual.

There is a light on the right-hand side of the luggage compartment (boot). It has it's own off switch though, so you may have to flick the switch on the light to set it so that it comes on when the tailgate lifts and goes off when it's closed. See page 5-147.
