Friends: 0 |  Auto-Off headlight feature on Model II 2010 Prius Hello, I have a Model II basic Prius and I cant get the Auto-off headlights feature to work. If I leave headlights on and wait for 30 seconds as the owners manual says, the lights do not turn off. The dealer told me that Auto-Off headlights feature does not come with Model II. Is this correct? Any model II owners have any workarounds? My other car does a beeping sound if i leave headlights on. Is this beeping something I can add to a Prius? Any recommendations? Thanks! |

Check the owners manual. Auto Off is mentioned on page 208. There is a possible customization mentioned on page 581, though this might apply only to the Canadian headlight system. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Auto-Off headlight feature on Model II 2010 Prius Are you sure? Mine does not have the word "Auto" as headlight switch option. Does your car have "Auto" as healight switch option? |

Friends: 0 | Re: Auto-Off headlight feature on Model II 2010 Prius I will test when driving it and then parking and leaving light on. I only tested it when the car is off. Thanks. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Auto-Off headlight feature on Model II 2010 Prius I believe that all 2010's have auto off and that the switch off timing is programmable. Auto position on switch is for auto on. I don't believe that the current US models have that feature. |

Friends: 1 | Re: Auto-Off headlight feature on Model II 2010 Prius That's 100% accurate. The US Market vehicles do NOT have Auto On feature but have the Auto Off feature. I wish they had both in the US, but at least they turn off, so it's not hard to just leave the switch on all the time. Just one of those small "quirks" you wish Toyota would have done differently. |

Friends: 2 | Re: Auto-Off headlight feature on Model II 2010 Prius If you are turning ON your lights WHILE in the car and waiting for them to go out, they will NOT. You will need to turn the car ON, then turn the headlights ON, Park the car, turn the car OFF (don't turn the headlights OFF) OPEN the DRIVERS Door and exit the vehicle. Opening the Drivers Door is what triggers the headlights to turn OFF in 30 seconds! David (aka Blind Guy) Quote:
