Okay, cool. The only logic would be the safety issue of someone forgettin' to turn headlights on that are use to them coming on automatically. I see that all the time in my line of work.

NJ Goat is right, I had this same problem. As long as I shut if off below 6, it never happens.....

The best way to prevent this situation is to use the switch manually. It happened to me yesterday for the 1st time as I rolled up the driveway turning the car off as I was still moving, pulled the key out and opened the door in one rapid motion in conjunction with setting the parking brake... bolted into the house, got what I needed and returned to find my lights still on. Using the remote to lock or unlock did nothing. I turned the lights off manually, started the car and drove away. While driving down my street I put the switch back to auto. Upon stopping and getting out again after shutting down the normal way I do it the auto lights worked properly.

Just a quirk to remember if your in a rush and you shut down while moving or open the door before removing the key and you have the headlight switch on auto.
