When you turn the vehicle back on, the lights come on automatic again.....

Great for those who leave their headlights on.......

Do you have this feature which is quite common in vehicles today and do you use it much...................

Titanic1985 Champion Author South Carolina Posts:6,274 Points:358,545 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: May 16, 2013 9:59:31 AM Ignore Titanic1985 Report Abuse Good Morning contiki, I've been spoiled by this feature for over five ears with my 2008 Chevrolet Equinox and now my 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. The nice thing is that you never have to worry about draining the battery. Also, the lights stay on for a time programmed through the radio which allows me to see my way in the dark. My carport is about fifty feet from the front door on a 5 acre field in the country. When there is no moon, it really is dark! Now I have the 2010 Ford Ranger which actually has a manual light switch -- how quaint! I'm always forgetting about turning off the lights and an alarm alerts me to do that. I feel like I've gone back in time with this and manual crank windows (I actually like them -- less to go wrong). Take care :-). MGY
