Hi guys,
New here so please be gentle. Tried everywhere I can think of for an answer to this but coming up blank...
I have a 07 Outlander Warrior and I'm just wondering if the following is a fault or a function that I always had but didn't know about.
I leave my lights turned on on the stalk all the time (I think it's safer to be seen). When I turn off the engine and take out the key they stay on until I get out and close the door, then switch off themselves. Normally they don't come on until I start the engine again but this evening, when I unlocked the car with the remote (as I always do) the headlights came on straightaway - like the "see-me-home" function that I've seen on other models of car.
Trouble is, I can't figure out why it happened (I've not changed anything), and I can't get it to do it again.
I'm stumped... the Outlander doesn't have that function does it?!?

 

I have two '10 outlander xls. The white one had a battery drain over night once... jumped it.. and it hasn't happened since. The black one the same exact thing happened a few months later. Again, a few months later (tonight), we came home to find the headlights on. I'm sure this was the cause of the previous dead batteries.

It was parked last night with the lights on the **** turned to on.. shut down.. opened the door..and everything was off. We were out in the dark several times between when the car was parked and tonight, and we would have noticed the headlights on. The car sat all day today..and it appears during the day something happened to turn the lights on. It seems there must be some rare software path causing this to happen..
