headlights staying on

Your owners manual has the answers

ahh.. sorry. must have skimmed it too fast

I haven't read the manual cover to cover yet but I did read the whole quick reference quide and watch the nifty DVD. It said "up to 3 minutes". But why would it vary? ???

I had not timed it but good point?? ???

Why would it vary?

The inside dome has the same timing thing I think.

Now that is a good question. Perhaps differences in relays from suppliers? I don't really care about that... but I am sad there is no way to adjust the delay. I would prefer a 20 second delay.

Wow... 3 minutes! I thought it seemed like mine were staying on for quite a while but I never timed it.

I like the 3 Minutes, gives me time to fumble with packages and get in the door with a night lite

There is a way to modify how long the lights will stay on, but you cannot set them to stay on for more than 3 minutes. Check the maual for more details.

i must be blind... i cannot find it.

i can only find the line where it says the auto lights will turn off after 45 seconds on page 2-24.

someone put me out of my misery and let me in on it :-[ :yes:

I looked again too and I can only find that the stay on for :45 secs if all doors are shut and "key" is off. The 3 minutes I previously mentioned is actually FIVE minutes if you leave a door open. So in a scenario like Christine mentioned, leaving the rear door open while you say unload a bunch of grocery bags, the headlights will stay on till you shut that rear door or 5 minutes is reached. Nice.

I see no mention of an option for selecting different times.

Maybe I misread something. I could of sworn I remembered seeing something about it though...

the image is a hack job from 2 pages..

the first text portion is on EXL page 13

and the chart is on EXL page 23.

i updated the pic with the correct text.

That is what I gathered from the owners manual (which I finally got in the mail - YAY!).
