Disabling Follow me home fog lights

This is the feature that briefly turns on the fog lights after you close the driver's door after the headlights have been used.

What is the correct procedure in Xentry/DAS or HHTWIN to prevent this from happening? Tried going through all the modules but could not find the variant coding setting for it.

Finally found it, it is in the PSE National Version Coding of the ATA.

thank you for posting the answer. many times folks will ask questions and then
ultimately find the answer but neglect to identify the details of the solution.

you can also do this by opening the door with the key in the ignition and turning the key part way (almost to start position) and back before getting out.

true dat. what intrigued me about the OPs find was the odd place this was found in the
menu: PSE also, other owners have reported that their dealer had indicated the time
value was not adjustable.

so when i have time, i'm going to see if I can verify this using the SDS on my 99 E320
