Default Another dumb question on my 2005 S-Type lights

Hey all,
This is not in my manual at all on my 2005 S-Type 3.0L. I looked and looked. But, what are these hash marks below the "auto" headlight setting on the lights/turn signal stem?
I thought they might be the HID lamp intensity adjustment, but rotating it to the hash marks do nothing on the brightness of the bulbs.
looks like I need more educating.
Thanks!!

Hi,

this is the time after which the lights go out after removing the key. After setting to individual positions, the instrument cluster display will show a delay time.

Thank you again guys ! Learning something new every day.
Btw, found this pic of a 1966 S-Type (or so) and I just love the old time looking front end that my '05 has the look to. I just hope no one try's to steal my hood ornament.

From the 2006 drivers handbook:

Three settings on the rotary collar set the time that the headlights will remain on after the key is removed from the ignition switch:
• 10 seconds.
• 30 seconds.
• 2 minutes.
Note: If the light switch rotary collar is in the AUTO position there will be no exit delay and the headlights will turn off when the ignition is turned off.

Mellow
