Default The car can auto turn off lights

I was driving to school and parked in college parking lots. I forgot to turn off the lights while getting off after park my car. Does GS 350 have auto on and off lights?

Yes it does, once you leave the light in the auto position it will automatically turn off after a certain amount of seconds.

Mine doesn't even have to be in auto. They go off after I hit the lock/alarm beep.

The radio also shuts off by itself after XX minutes, at least mine does. That is of course when the engine is not on

Yes it does Beware though, SOMETIMES it doesn't work (the service rep told me that usually means one of your door lock actuators are going bad). So be careful!

It also works when you leave the car on the "On" position.

Only on the remote though, right? Because when i lock by pressing the door, it doesn't work

This is why you see some people driving cars around with all of their lights on all the time. They don't even mess with the light switch. It is set to on, and when they power off and lock the car, the lights go off. When they start the car, all of the lights come back on. Certainly doesn't bode well for the life of the lights. Whatever that really is.

The "lights out" feature is programmable to your preference in the GS Personlized Settings.
