==== 1️⃣ What the “90-second Parking Mode timer” actually does ====

It is not a delay before recording starts.

It is a delay before the camera switches from full-power Driving Mode into low-power Parking Mode.

Behavior:

| Setting          | What happens when engine turns OFF                                                               |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Off              | Immediately switches to Parking Mode (low-bitrate / timelapse / event mode)                      |
| 30 / 60 / 90 sec | Camera stays in normal driving mode at full bitrate for that time, then switches to Parking Mode |

So if you stop the engine during a traffic stop:
* With 90 sec selected, the camera records normal driving video for 90 seconds
* Then it transitions into your configured parking mode (low-bitrate / timelapse / etc)

This is intentional: it captures you walking away, interactions near the car, etc.
