So It was one of the day, I went inside parking lot. After I done with my stuff, I got back to my car and opened the door. Suddenly my headlights were on.
My friend said "Wow, your ride is so cool~!" and I didn't know that how I did it.
After I came home, I tried again in my Apt garage, but it wasn't work.
Can any one tell me how can I automatically turn on the head light before I touch the start button? Just by opened the door.

we already had a thread on here about this and it just happens. Its something the dealer cant even figure out. Dont let it bug you because your always going to have that. It's not really a problem, its just random.

WTF guys, I can do this on my car when ever I want, don't you guys have the option on your head unit to have headlights switch on and off when opening and closing the door!!???? as well as keeping the headlights on for 10,20,30 secs? You guys must have this in your cars? I thought everybody did?

Well mine is a GCC model. you guys can't be serious? I'll post pics up of what the dash display to make sure I'm not missing something. Would you think the GCC (Middle East Version) or *** versions have this? and the US models don't? I don't understand how they'll put this on some cars and not others

Ours just do it when they want to... usually if the lights are on Auto and the car was recently turned off. Re-entering the car turns them back on, but only for a few minutes after the car has been turned off.
At least that's my findings.

Defratos are you sure about this option on our GCC cars?
I don't remember seeing this option in the menu. Mind taking a pic of the option on the menu?
I'd love to have this.

Well, opening a window doesn't have much to do with the auto headlights.
Are you referring to the door?

Sorry for the delay guys, just got back from fishing, haven't slept for over 24hrs and threw up all over my friend on the boat .....As well as nearly burst my bladder, but I took the pics

The first pic may seem like common sense, but now I have no idea what type of head unit you guys have, but anyway, I press the settings button on the dash, which takes me to the below screen. Here I select "Comfort & Conv" <----(Do you guys not have this)?



Second pic is what will show up once the "Comfort & Conv" option is selected. and the highlighted option "Auto Headlights off Delay" is the one I use to change the timing of the headlights. I can't remember the intervals but if you want I'll check it out next time.



The option will keep the lights on after the ignition and start the countdown timer from the sec the driver's door closes, I have it on 0s so if I keep my Xenons on after switching the car off the light's will stay on until I close my door, and they instantly light up when I press the unlock button on the key fob or door handle.

Now please someone tell me you guys have this and I've mis-understood?
