Headlight Auto-On Problem

Headlight Auto-On Problem
I have a 2008 TL, Type S and am having a problem with the headlight auto-off delay feature. Here's the message I sent to my salesman, who offered no help:
With the headlight switch in the AUTO position and setting the headlight delay to 60 seconds, it seems that the headlights are supposed to remain on (for a minute) after removing the key and exiting the vehicle. They don't. Rather, they turn off when the key is removed. The manual seems to be clear that they should remain on. (The delay feature works when the headlight switch is left in the ON position. But that defeats the advantage of the AUTO feature.)
Thanks.

I thought the auto on/off was a sensor that activates the headlights when it gets dark at night (at least thats what it was like on my Nissan...)?

^Agreed. The auto on/off feature is supposed to be for switching to dark driving, I believe. However, in my dad's 08 MDX, when I exit the car and lock it the headlights do remain on for about a minute or so. But I have not paid attention as to whether the headlights were in the 'on' or 'auto' position but I'm pretty sure it was the auto position.

the headlights are not supposed to stay on after the car is shut off and the setting is on the auto mode. it only stays on if the switch is set on the on position.
