In 'Auto' mode the headlights go off automatically after locking the car after 30 seconds. It says in the manual if you want to shorten that time you have to contact the dealer. Is there an easy way to knock it down to 10 seconds, without having to pay the dealer?

Thanks!

I thought this whole time that the lights will stay on even though it's on auto and the car is powered down.

I just turn it on and off manually, cuz I don't like walking away from my car and seeing the headlights still on.

 

The answer is no. The dealer can choose between 30, 60, and 90 seconds for this delay.

 

I wonder how the car would behave if this were set to "OFF"? The description says:So if this were "OFF" would the headlights stay on if the ignition swich were turned off and stay on until all of the doors are closed? I'd like it if it worked that way.

 

I think you are correct. The delay is OFF, therefore the lights will turn off immediately when you shut down the ignition and close the doors.

 

Some of you may know this, but if you press "lock" twice on either the door handle or on your key fob, it will turn the lights off immediately, even with lights in "auto" position.

 

Does this work with the lock on the door handle? The manual only mentions "pushing the lock switch on the electronic key". It would be really convenient if it did!

 

Thanks 'Flopshot' for such a definitive answer. I assume that if I wanted to go with 'OFF' it can still only be done by the dealer?

Thanks!

To answer my own question: this does not work with the lock on the door handle. Pressing it twice does nothing. Pressing lock on the key fob does turn off the lights, however.

 

Yes, the dealer has to program this.
