45e front and rear light on during charging

Hi gang-plugged my new 45e in last night for the first time and noticed the front and rear lights on the driver side were on the entire time the car was plugged in. Can i disable it? i looked through all logical menu items but can't see where i can change that.
Thanks!

interesting that it's only on the driver side. exactly how long did they stay on? All night? the car should completely shut down after ~15 minutes with no special settings involved. this happened to me once when I first got mine while using the included level 1 charger @6A. Increased to 10A, couldn't replicate and it hasn't occurred again even with new level 2 charger @16A

Maybe it won't happen again. We'll see. Yes, lights were on all night.

Check your light control switch cluster. In some markets you can select parking lights which illuminate one side or the other for on street parking overnight, when the car is switched off and locked. I'm sure I've seen that feature described in the manual somewhere.

UPDATE: Page 169 of my manual

Picking my car, same model up in a few days, I just wondered if this happened again or was it the parking lights that were on?
