Hi all 

I am about to purchase a 2014 s max 1.6 diesel

the car drives fine but I’ve noticed that the headlight symbol on the dash is constantly on even with the lights off. 
 

also the lights stay on when the switch is set to the zero position but turn off when you switch the side lights on. 
 

Am I missing something or is there some for of electrical issue ?

thanks
