Headlight delay function

If the Start/Stop button is in the ACC or OFF position with the headlights ON, the headlights (and/or position lights) remain on for about 5 minutes.

If the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlights are turned off after 15 seconds. Also, with the vehicle off if the driver's door is opened and closed, the headlights (and/or position lights) are turned off after 15 seconds.

The headlights (and/or position lights) can be turned off by pressing the lock button on the smart key twice or turning the headlight switch to the OFF or AUTO position.

You can enable the headlight delay function by select User Settings > Lights > Headlight Delay in the instrument cluster or Vehicle > Light > Headlight time-out in the infotainment system.

  • When the headlight delay (or Head lamp delay) function is turned on in the infotainment system, the welcome light function of the welcome system will also operate as well. For more information, refer to the "Welcome system" section in this chapter.

  • The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.

If the driver exits the vehicle through another door besides the driver's door, the battery saver function does not operate and the headlight delay function does not turn OFF automatically.

To avoid battery discharge, turn OFF the headlights manually from the headlight switch before exiting the vehicle.
