oh fuzzles typo. Was wonder why it DOESN'T beep when you turn off the car with the lights set to auto.

It beeps when the lights are on the other settings.

In auto they will turn off automatically after a short period of time. There is no need to beep and remind you to turn them off when in this mode.

Most of the time this is designed as a safety feature, in case you need to have lighting around your car when you exit at night.

oh it seems like it shuts off if you use keyless to lock the doors.

a lot of it is making sense, but i think it will take some effort for me to get used to it after using 'manual' headlights all my life.

It'll turn off if you press the key twice. Once to lock car and headlights stay on, twice to turn off headlight. 3 pushes of lock button gets the car to honk the horn instead of an electronic beep.

You may not see the benefit of this, but someone living in a more rural area with dark/unlit driveways would benefit greatly from this feature if they were parked outside.
