Friends: 0 |  can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III I just purchased a 2010 IV with solar package and I love it! I've only driven it a few times but I still can't find the auto marking on the headlight lever. I picked it up at the dealer in the afternoon and I was in a hurry to get home, so we didn't review the basics. In the manual it says it will have AUTO, if so equipped, but mine does not. Can anybody help?  |

Friends: 0 | Re: can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III AFAIK, none of the U.S. models have an AUTO headlight mode... |

Friends: 3 | Re: can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III They aren't auto-on. Leave them on, and they're auto-off. Period. Many gripes in other threads about that. But look on the bright side; all the windows are auto up and down.  |

Friends: 0 | Re: can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III I don't think that the U.S. models "are so equipped", that is, they don't have automatic headlights. However, you should be able to just leave the headlights turned "on" all of the time. They should go off about 30 seconds after you turn off the car from what I've read (possibly maybe 30 seconds after you leave the car). |

Friends: 0 | Re: can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III Thanks for the quick reply. I previously had the 2006 Prius package #7 and it had auto headlights. I can't believe it's not included in the 2010. I really like that feature. |

Friends: 0 | Re: can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III I like the auto off feature better. We have auto on/auto off on our nissan and someone knocked off the plastic cover over the sensor so now it has to be REAL dark for the auto on to work. It's safer driving with the lights on even during the day. |

Funny thing is why a 2001 and up Corolla has it, but not a Prius. Same with turning off traction control on the Prius. Not very "high tech", is it?  | |

Friends: 4 | Re: can't find auto on headlight panel on Gen III I thought in the Gen III, the package V had the auto lights? |
