I don't own a TL Type-S, so I don't know. Been searching around for this. Some sites say yes, some no. Any Type-S owner that can help me?

Thx

 

If you leave them on, then leave and lock the car, they will go out on thier own. Then, when you unlock the car with the remote, they will come back on.

What I mean is, a lot of car (eg Toyota Camry) will sense the "outside light", so when its dark enough, the headlight will turn on automatically. If its too bright, headlight will turn off.

02 TLs have that?

sorry to say there is no such feature like that on our cars =(

 

From what I have read, I think TLs and TLSs in the Canada do have this function.

 

Yes, Canadian models have the daytime running light feature..I remember seeing it in the brochure.

Yes Canadian models come with daytime running lights, but do not have auto on and off features, other than when you leave on the lights and lock your doors with the key fob, the lights will stay on for about 30 seconds then go off, and will go on again when you unlock the doors with the key fob. This may also work with manual unlocking and locking of the the door with the key, I dont know, however who uses the key to unlockthe door anymore when they have a key fob.

 

Don't the lights come on when you hit the remote if they had previously "auto offed".

 

No they dont, there are no light sensing sensors attached to our headlights, and I for one am glad there isnt. Oddly most people I know with car that have that option never use it.

I know that feature is available on my uncle's Buick Park Avenue Ultra but he told me that sometimes it is useless because the light sensor is sometime slow to detect the different intensity of light, so you have to turn them ON when you are in a tunnel. They have a 2-3 seconds lags...

 

My 1994 Ford Explorer has that feature, and we use it all the time. You just leave the headlights on auto, and they come on when it gets to be twilight. They actually come on well before I would turn them on manually, so we never end up wishing they were on when they aren't. It's a pretty cool feature.

 

If the lights are on when you shut off and exit the car and lock it, they will turn off automatically. When you return and use the remote, the lights WILL come back on regardless if it is day or night.
