Auto lights

Hi all,

Just noticed with my autolights, they take quite some time to turn off if coming out of a tunnel back into daylight for example. Is there a way to change how long it takes for them to turn back off, or if anyone elses take a while too?

    How long is 'some time'? I think they normally take about 10-20s to go off. I've always put it down to the system making sure there isn't a false signal to turn the lights off.

    About 20-30 seconds would be my guess, I thought that would probably be it. Just that some of the cars we've had previously have been about 5-6 seconds to shut off.

    Ah right, to be honest I've nothing to compare it against as this is the first car I've had with auto lights.

    Length of time the auto lights will go out depends on the ambient light so there is no particular set amount of time. With the recent weather conditions over the past few weeks, especially in my location, they stay on all the time.
