Possible to change delay to lights turning off?

Quick question. Is it possible to change the delay of the lights staying on ? Mine tend to stay on for 30?! seconds or so, which seems to long to me as it senselessly drains the battery imo

 

As long as you drive for a good distance, the alternator will charge the battery no problem. Also my alarm/keyless entry automatically turns on and turns off the dome light and map light so the lights never stay on too long.

 

I was talking about the headlights

 

Don't worry about it, your truck has the smarts to cut power before over-draining the battery, even if you accidentally leave a map/dome light on.

(I think...)

 

Just curious - Is your headlight switch set to Auto?

 

You can also double-push your lock button to turn the lights off.

 

Light settings are changed within the headunit.

 

It won’t have any negative effect on your battery.

 

Yup, double lock to turn of immediately. Also, settings are within HU

 

I agree with OP. It’s a stupid amount of time the lights stay on so you almost feel you gotta wait around to make sure they turn off. I use the double-push of the lock to turn them off, but would love to simply disable the feature entirely. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to achieve. Is this another one of those safety things for those safety-obsessed people, or is it supposed to be helpful?

 

use you hand and manually turn them off,,unless u are too lazy.. lol

 

I actually like the delay, especially when you are in a very dark area, it gives you a chance to get to a door, or place where you can turn on a light.

 

You can change it in the radio settings, also hitting lock twice turns them off

 

Yes

 

I don’t lock my car in my garage.

 

Elaborate a little bit ? There is a setting in the head unit ? I couldn’t find it

 

Head unit Vehicle Customization
1. Start the truck
2. Menu -> Settings -> Scroll down then click Vehicle -> Vehicle customization

Here you can change the lock beep volume, unlock all doors with single key fob press, headlight time, etc. I turned my headlight time to 0 or off because I also didn't like this "feature" after turning the truck off.

 

at work atm, but yes its either in radio head unit settings or the DIC settings that use the steering wheel controls.

Awesome! Thank you. I used the key fob hold for 5 seconds to do the door unlock!
