I'd be impressed if you could flick the switch with your nose:lol:

As a new owner of a 02 Heritage, it caught me out. My wife phoned me & left a message saying the car wouldn't start, then left another message saying it was OK. I had a look when I came home & the parking lights were on. Didn't know about the parking light switch, and checked fuses, looked up the wiring diagrams from the manual posted on this forum and couldn't work out why. I guess somewhere in the wiring diagrams it shows the switch but I missed it. Did a google and first on list was an official USA Subaru site with the answer.
I also found a comment about every Subaru owner gets caught out once, but not all admit it.
:Derisive:

After having the car for a month I had begun wondering but no enough to open the users manual.

I sometimes scare off a tailgater with the pulsed brake pedal trick.  Now it's gonna be so much easier with theis handy switch!! Thanks.

Must tell my wife too about that switch incase she gets curious.

lol while that button is good for tailgaiters, i would rather have my car intact :S

haha the funniest thing ever, tho i did wonder what that switch did a few years back in my ex's subi
