    I have a 2007 Prius. The manual is hard to understand as it talks about two different cars==( with automatic lighting control and without automatid lighting control) How can I tell which I have? I have only had the car a few months. Thanks for any help.

    But you can just leave your lights on and they will shut off when you power down the car.

    I believe they wait for the driver-side door to open before shutting off.

    If you don't have "AUTO" on the headlight stalk, you don't have them. Since you're from the US, you probably don't have them since they're only available on Canadian cars.

    However, you do have AUTO-OFF so it will shut off automatically. However, it is linked to the driver's door (i.e. it'll turn off when you open the driver's door). Keep that in mind because if you exit via the passenger door, it won't turn off.

    *** WARNING *** WARNING *** DANGER, WILL ROBINSON ***

    If you open the driver door BEFORE you turn the car off - THE LIGHTS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF! :eek:

    Thanks Sufferin priusenvy for the great help with the info about lights in the manual.

    I never would have known.

    I'm sure glad you mentioned this because I could sure see myself doing this at some point. I was used to having the DRL's in my Matrix (and I do miss them) so I just leave the stalk on the on position. Thanks for sharing this!
