leaving turn signal on when shuting off engine?
why does my s4 beep incesantly if the turn signal is left on when it is shut off. I think this was mentioned before, but it happens even with the lights in the off position, and auto. it also beeps when my coming home/leaving home is on the 0? what gives?

It lets you know your side parking lights are on. You can turn them off
by returning your turn signal to the center position. I believe this is a European feature used when parking on narrow streets and isn't something you find on many cars sold in America.

The '04 S4 Definitely does do this
Has happened to me three times. This occurance was posted about 2 weeks ago on the forum. Someone corectly diagnosed the problem as inadvertenty activating the turn signal and then turning off the ignition .Try it youself. Turn on a turn signal while the engine is running. Next, turn off the ignition and see what happens. End of mystery!

I like BiggerTwin's answer -- i think he's got it...
...your turn signal is also your "side parking lights" used to provide side lighting while you park. So the warning tells you you left your side parking lights on...here I thought it was something they taught in German Engineering School AE301 - Automotive Electronics.

i already answered this down below... they are euro park lights
they stay on until you turn them off...
not like the merc feature of the lights staying on for like a minute...
this is exists for parking your car along a curb in a dark arear... you have your car lit on the side away from the curb and it can be seen from both directions...
it will not go off until you return the blinker to the center position
