Headlights switch question

I've always left my headlight switch in AUTO mode but recently decided that I like the look with all lights on better, so I've moved the switch to the right to full lights (I guess that's what it's called)

Just wondering about the lights turning off. The lights appear to turn off completely when I take the key out, but in all my old cars I used have to turn the headlights off or else I'd get a chime and they'd stay on after the car is off.

they will turn off so you dont kill the battery, it's nice to have incase you forget or dont realize you turned them on manually.

Cool thanks. Definitely a nice to have as I've left my headlights on by accident a few times with older cars

Also decided I'm not a fan of the headlights since the orange markets go on... So back to DRL for me heh
