Weird event, possible dumb question

Hey guys,

Drove my new 2020 G63 for the second time today. Drove 2 minutes over to the golf course. Parked the car. Locked it, (it honked and mirrors went in). I played 9 holes. Walked up to my G about 2hrs later and the passenger front headlight was on.... (not the LED ring but the actually low/high beam bulb in the centre). I unlocked, and locked the car. It turned off and everything went back to normal. Drove home etc.

Curious... as there is no comfort access so I don’t think it turned on when I approached the car (has comfort start so maybe???).

Any thoughts guys?

It was getting dark and there was mist of rain for a few minutes.....

Either your indicator was on or on the light switch it was turned over to one side. This is a safety measure for parking at night on a busy road.
