Auto Lights

I have been having problems with my auto lights turning off. I have tried to change the the time setting in the "personall settings". I feel my lights have a mind of their own, sometimes they turn off sometimes they dont..???

No problems here. You'll want to check the obvious -- make sure no one is moving your headlight switch on you.

Also, when in the personal setting menu, I accidentally would select the "reset" option when I was navigating through the system. I would go in a make a change (like turing off the horn beep when you lock the doors with the remote) and somehow I would negate that change by somehow selecting the reset to factory defaults option at the end of the personal settings menu. It was quite frustrating until I realized what I was doing wrong.

LOL!!! I use to have the same freaking problem!!! It's kind of confusing @ first, but after you figure out the personal settings menu, you can set things blind-folded...

I thought the delay was for how long the lights stay on after you turn off the ignition.

Have you tried changing the sensitivity? If your Max is set to 1 I could see the lights coming on two frequently.

I'd suggest changing the sensitivity to 2 or 3.

The sensitivity adjusts the threshold at which the headlights come on when the switch is in "auto" mode.

Mxp1l0t is right. The delay setting is for how long the lights stay on after you turn off the ignition. I like mine to stay on for a minute so they light up the driveway while I get into the house.
