Leon main beam on warning buzzer not working??

[Motty]

Hi there,

I have a problem with the warning buzzer for main beam on, in that the warning buzzer doesnt work when I open the door.

It's strange because it works if just the side lights are switched on.

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks.

it doesnt chime if mains are on as you can use them for comming home lights they will stay on for 30 secs or whatever its set to then all turn off after that

Ahh thanks for your help.

Sp if you leave your main beams on and lock the car they will automatically turn off after a while? I never knew this, will try it now tonight hahahahaha.

I had the same gripe a while ago lol

mine turn off after about 1.5 minute.

the ammount of people that yell " you left your lights on " and i just have to explain that they should watch some magic.
and then they turn off. i win!

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, so can you set the time it takes for them to turn off and if so how?

only if activated

 

[jc_boc]

mmmmmm so how do you activate it? Oh wait, lemme guess...........VAGCOM?

I have to flash my main beam to activate them on mine (once the Coming Home/Leaving Home option has been enabled in the MFD).

i dont have vagcom, or the larger mfd... so i guess it was like it from standard.
but i do have a bosch KTS diagnostic computer which works well, im sure i could use that - im happy to try and if anyone locally wants it done ill do it B-)

ive got small mfd and mine works i got a bit shitty and cursed it when it didnt beep when i turned car off and got out with headlights on aswell till i looked in the book

 

[jc_boc]

Tried it out today and it works!!!! No warning buzzer but the headlight turns off after roughly a minute. I think it's a cool feature! LOL.

This does exist (called "Leaving Home" cleverly!), but you only have it in combination with the auto headlights.

It needs the sensor to know if its dark enough to bother, but if it is then yes, the lights come on when you unlock the car, and will time out again after a period you set with the MFD.

so you need auto headlights for this option to even be possible to enable in vagcom?

I don't have auto lights and can use the "coming home" function but can't use the "leaving home" function (and can't enable it in VAGCOM either).

Looks that way as the sensor decides whether to switch them on or not dependant on light levels.
