See me home feature

[Kartman]

First off I would like to thank everyone for a terrific site. As a new deisel driver the threads on maintenance and fuel were invaluable. I have recently purchased the standard 2008 103 TDI auto without comfort pack but it does have the see me home feature. Since owning the car, I have twice flattened the battery with the resulting air bag error. The headlights turn off in the allotted time, however the parking lights stay on.
Two dealers have told me that since I do not have the comfort pack I have to turn the lights off manually (still under warrenty) Is this some strange quirk of VW which turns off main lights automatically but leaves parking lights on? Perhaps I just have gullable written agross my forehead.

Seems strange. I didn't think the auto headlights with the see me home, leaving "work" function was part of the 'comfort pack', I thought it was a standard feature on them all. I've only used the leaving work one though!
