Read that in the manual, the week BEFORE I got the car, Kieran!

I usually ask to get a look at the manual before I collect the car, so I am familiar with the controls before I drive it away from the showroom.

The Home Safe option is of no use to me either, as I reverse park into the car port, so I would just end up with the headlights shining across into the neighbour's houses!
