Model 3 parking lights

[Roy W.]

Is there a UK manual? Or is there a manual more recent than 2019.16.1 irrespective of region?

A very good question!

I thought I read on here a week or two ago that someone had found a UK manual, but I might have been dreaming/Senior Moment/TIA

Is that the UK version of the manual that you downloaded as in mine it says nothing about "Parking"

What options does your car have on the screen?

Gosh it's many years since I've used parking lights however it's still a legal requirement if you are parked on a road with a speed limit greater than 40mph.
I don't think it's a law that is enforced though as that would require the police to get off their ........ (drifts off into Daily Mail rant mode)

Living in the Shropshire countryside I do sometimes park my car in poorly lit country lanes.
In my previous Golf R I did often leave the side lights on on the side of the car that was closer to the road in order to increase visibility.

I do wish my M3 had that as well...

yes, this was the situation I had in mind when I raised the question. We have friends we visit who live on a 30 mph road with no streetlights. Much better to leave the car showing some parking lights. Our previous BMW mini and Mercedes could do that easily. Bit more awkward now but at least there is a way to leave all four corners illuminated

I found a Europe manual that was 2019.36.1 - Oct timestamp - a NA variant exists too.

European version:

It’ll fill the time until my car shows up (Oct 28th/first days of Dec estimate, M3LR, white, no opts. C’mon the Neptune, hurry up!).

Great. Much improved in many areas. Same URI as well I think.

Ie dash cam, tow and probably others.

Europe uses symbols instead of words. They’re labeled “PARKING” in the US.

Unfortunately everyone's Tesla account in UK seems to link to north_america_en version of manual and not the Euro version which does not help matters.
