| When the auto switch for the lights is on sometimes the parking lights will not turn off when the car is turned off and the keys removed. we often have to get back in the car, insert/remove the key, then open/close the door to get the lights to go off. once, during the day we failed to notice the light on and the battery was completely drained. *tr | |||

| Parking lights sometimes turn on several minutes after removing keys and exiting car, this car has automatic headlights, the switch can be turned off if desired, unlike daytime running lights that are on all the time. we have 2 identical cars and both have the same issue. dealer checked car out and told us there are no other reports and that we are opening the car door before turning the ignition off and causing the problem. even though i was sure that was not the case, we took the advice and did as we were instructed. within a few weeks the problem returned,this time not caught for 15 hours, running the battery down. dealer has no solution and told us that most people turn the switch off anyway, but this defeats the purpose of automatic headlights. the problem happened 3 times with each car before we left the switch off, neither of us use the lights during the day any longer because of the problem. *tr | |||
