Auto headlights... why does it beep when you exit car? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Is it just a design flaw, or are the lights suppose to turn off when the car is off after some time?

It beeps because you opened the door before turning off the car, as a reminder for you to remove your keys.

and the lights will turn themselves off eventually.

I wish there was a way to not have the lights come on when starting in the garage. Don't use the auto setting because of this. Not good to have the lights come on and off quickly each day.

I spoke to God at dinner today. Your wish is granted.

This can be reprogrammed, yes?

Do the headlights come on when you start the car in the dark with the parking brake on?

Excuse to go drive the car ;-)

Yeah, I just tested it.
If you turn on accessory (push button without pressing clutch) the headlights wont come on but running lights do.
If you start car (depress clutch while pressing button) headlights come on immediately.

They should have been smart and not had the HL come on until parking break comes off.

Yikes. Another reason why I am glad I stayed spartan by not getting the push button start - Manual trans and manual electric controls. Yes, Yes, Yes...
