Does the F automatically switch lights off?
Does the F automatically switch lights off?
I think I left my lights on... do the lights go off automatically if you don't switch them off (after turning off the car and locking the doors)? I guess I won't find out until after work

Depends on whether you had the headlight switch set to "Auto" or on manual. The Auto setting is just what it says automatic. It turns the headlights on or off as needed. The headlights will stay on after the car is shut off. If you double click the key fob, the lights will turn off sooner than they will shut off automatically.
If you manually turned on the lights, they will stay on until the battery dies

I believe it works like this. If you were driving with lights on in non-automatic mode, then turned off the car and exited. You are OK, they go off with a timer. If you were driving, turned the car off, THEN turned the lights on manually, then exited the car and locked, they will still be on.
Senario 1, car things you accidentally left lights on and turns them off.
Senario 2 car thinks you intentionally turned the lights on after driving and will leave them on.
You are probably OK.

If Manually turned ON...
As long as you Turn the car off, then open your door and exit you are fine..
If you have the door open, then turn the car off.. I think they remain ON..
But anyone who is bored right now can run outside and test it.. I can't at the moment..
Im also guessing the OP is no where near his car right now to check

So I turned off the lights! I was just being paranoid. I tested out double-clicking the key fob, and the lights did go off - this is a great feature. The next test will be to lock without the key using the handle, and I'll see if the lights go off. Thanks again guys
