Function of the "P" button

Hi!
There is a button along the panel below the cluster that has a "P" symbol, anyone to educate what that is for? appreciated!

This activates the "Parking Light" function when the car is off, illuminating the marker lights front and rear.

Re: Function of the "P" button

I was wondering the same
The 'P' is an obvious allusion to Parking (seems to be an international thing)
but i never investigated them too deeply...
Is this to help me see in a dark garage after parking? How long do they stay illuminated, assuming they turn off after a while.

Yes when your battery dies.

that is incorrect - this button activates the trunk flush after you're done urinating in it.

If you are parking in a dark area, say the shoulder of a side road with no overhead lights, you can turn on the parking lights so your car can be seen, instead of using the 4 way flashers.

I was wondering myself, since it's been left on many times when Wifey, or my Daughter had been driving the car.
