Follow Me Home
The follow me home circuit makes it possible for the vehicle driver to leave on the low beam headlights for a certain period after leaving the vehicle in order to illuminate the way home.

Operating principle
The follow me home function is activated by operating the headlight flasher switch after switching off the ignition and the low beam headlights.

The following conditions must be fulfilled in order to activate the function:
- Time duration for the follow me home function must be encoded (40 seconds)
- Ignition and low beam headlight were switched on simultaneously and were switched off within the last 30 seconds.
- Headlight flasher switch was briefly operated within this 30 second period.

Follow me home is immediately deactivated if the light switch or ignition switch is operated.
