About Headlight Auto ON/OFF

Just wondering in our Canadian model, whether the headlights turn off by themselves automatically when you shut off the engine. Thanks.

I don't think so.
A couple times I've turned the car off, then turned the headlights off after the little chime started going once I removed my key.

I saw this tried at the dealership - it didn't work.

So there you have it Boyz, remember to turn off the lights when you get out of the car.

When I guess we do have one advantage, since by default the Dash board lights goes to Amber if the Lights are On so I guess it would make it pretty obvious to the driver if his lights are on during the day time. (in most cases when the drivers leave their lights on and walked, usually occur in day time, when they accidentially have them on without knowing it)

How about the U.S. model?

Do the lights turn off automatically? I'm just wondering because my '99 626 does it for me and I am such a creature of habit....

You know you can set the dials to be white when you have the lights on right?

The daytime running lights in Canada go off when you shut off the car. You don't have to turn them on, or off....they do it automatically

my dashboard lights don't default to amber when I have my lights on. I ususally use the white backgrounf during dawn and dusk and onlt switch to the amber when its dark.

The daytime running light go off when you turn off the car or set the parking brake. If you have the headlights on, car off and open the door you will hear a chime beep buzzer, so I don't know how you can forget.
