Thumbs up

The orange indicator light won't come off even after locking the car. Is it normal?

Sorry for the funny pics, just for easier understanding..

Yep. It's normal.

Your car is standby for 15 minutes. After that time it goes to sleep mode and the light is off. Once in a while the car wakes up and checks its systems, so it can happen that you see the light on after hours, and sometimes you see it off. But after parking it stays on for 15 minutes.

Why do you have a right hand drive in Prague?

I see! I thought so but wasn't sure and want to take care of my car-friend* and solve all potential problems ASAP.
*(still haven't figured out a name, previous 330xd was "Black Tiger")

Thank you! Will sleep much better now

P.S. Of course we drive on the same side of the road as you do , this was just a random pic from Google Images to help the ilustration. The good old days of driving on the original side of the road are long gone
