Lights turn off automatically when you remove key?
I wanted to see what the headlights looked like at night and after i shut the engine off or removed they key, cannot remember, the lights automatically turned off. I think this is a great feature considering I sometimes forget to turn off the lights when it rains in the daytime.

may seem to be a small thing, but that's the basic requirement for me when i am looking for a new car, my 93 corolla did the same thing, then they take it off after that model year. how hard is it to make a state machine to turn off headlight when the door is open?

With the auto-off feature, there's no work involved. Just turn them on and never turn them off.

I actually wish that there would be a delay. Being female and ending up in questionable areas sometimes I love that my diamante has a 2 minute (?) delay on the auto off feature. It makes me feel more secure leaving my lights on until I get into my house or where ever it is that I'm going.

If I'm not mistaken that's a standard feature for Toyota. Turns off automatically instead of giving you a warning noise like hondas usually do.
Not sure which I like more. Probably the way toyotas do it. No annoying noises.

I do believe you can turn them back on though, once you shuut your car off. I think I tested this....did not realize the auto-off feature though...that is great.
I guess I could just turn mine on, and never turn them off.....like stated above.

For those of you without a TC..check this out. The headlights when they are the first click of the lights, the "parkings lights glow ALONG with small city lights that light up the light housing. Daytime running lights can qualify like this.
And yes the Auto Off is uber-pimp.

For you tC owners- TRY THIS. Leave the headlamps on auto, when you get out of the car and thier still on -hit the lock buttom on the fob twice- it should turn them off. every other toyota (except my xB) does this...

My matrix had DRLs and a light sensor - so I never had to turn on or turn off the headlights. I'm spoiled with that, cause my old grand cherokee had the same thing. When I rented an '04 Camry it did not have the auto-on or auto-off - really surprised me, cause Camry is supposed to be higher end than a Matrix...
So tC has auto-off. That should do it for me Happy.
