auto light bug?

1. under the dark environments, e.g. nights
2. switch to auto light (the first position)
3. turn off engine, remove a key
4. use your key to lock doors remotely
5. head lights go off automatically because of auto mode
6. disarm the car
7. open the right front door. e.g. pick up something on the right front seat.
8. use your key to lock doors
9. head lights is on this time -- do not go off.
(if you do not check the lights and come back later, you need a jump start.)

bug? or a feature?

Otto: If you mean "lock with key/ fob remote", I did exactly as you described, and the lights extinguish at the set time.

Jim,

thank you for verifying it. I set the time for extinguishing headlights to 0 (not 15 sec) but 0 second may mislead the program.
