997 Home light switch

Silly question probably, but what does the Home light switch postion do. Is this a delay for when you arrive home at night?

Yep.[]

Yup.
The lights will also come on for a while when you unlock too. If you've got Sport Chrono, you can set the time delay.

From the Owners Manual....[] (The US version but I would imagine it's the same..)

Welcome Home Lighting

Switching on
Move light switch to the HOME position. For improved visibility and security when you get in and out of the car, the fog lights and the tail
lights remain on for a certain period of time:

"" When you get out of the car, the lights are turned on for approx. 30 seconds after the door is opened. The off-delay time resumes
when the vehicle is locked.

On vehicles with the Sport Chrono package, the PCM can be used to set the off-delay time. This setting also changes the lighting period
for unlocking the vehicle.
Please observe the chapter "Individual Memory" in the separate PCM operating instructions.

"" The lights are turned on for approx.
30 seconds when the vehicle is unlocked.
The lights go out if the ignition is switched on
or when leaving the Welcome Home lighting.
