I have trouble with my new d4 auto headlights, it stays on all the time even during sunny bright daytime when the ignition is on. This happent since I did an auto car wash last week. Can any one help.

I have a similar problem with my MY13 D4. Seems to stay on in bright sunlight after turning on after going through a dark patch like a tunnel under a railway line. I was wondering if it was due to the tinting on the windows. Does anyone know if it's a timing delay before they turn off? I intend to ask the dealer when I put it in for service soon. I'll let you know what they say if no one has a solution sooner.

SubscriberYeah mine does the same thing some times not sure what causes it, then later on it turns off, I know they stay on for quite a while after rain but yeah not sure about just random days.

My 2013 D4 the lights were set to Canadian DRL (always on) for some reason. Changed and now all is good.

Go into the vehicle settings menu, which is the right hand button on the steering wheel.
In there, you will find the auto headlamp delay settings.
Check & see what it is set for, and adjust as necessary.

SubscriberI think you will find we are talking about driving at day time with the head lights set to auto, and the lights turn them selves on.Originally Posted by Basil135

Yep, and what are the current settings?
My headlights are always on auto, and after a recent hard reset, I have to re-setup the vehicle to just the way I like it, including the headlight settings.

SupporterThere is no option in the menu to have the lights on all the time. Max is 240 secs.
I had the same issue of the lights staying on once - it fixed itself after a hard reset. Likewise I have issues in other areas after a wash and they do tend to fix themselves after a week or so after the connector or ECU has dried out. So give it a bit of time.

the option in the menu is for the "follow me home" feature which sets how long the timer should keep the lights on after you turn the car off so that you can see your way to the front door (or where ever) at night.

Had the D4 in for it's first 6 month service/safety check yesterday. I asked the service manager about the auto headlight operation especially as I had just driven in broad daylight some of which was straight into the sun for 1 hour and it didn't turn off. He said that the sensor is in the little cut out in front of the rear view mirror. This cutout also has the auto wiper sensor. If the cutout is not clean you get issues. I must admit, I don't clean that spot unless I'm washing the car which is usually not as often as I'd like so it's feasible that this is the issue. I don't think the wipers get there either.
On a separate issue, I've had occasions where the car hesitates on takeoff - bit scary when you're turning across oncoming traffic.The service manager said that if the brake pedal switch adjustment is not correct the computer thinks that the brakes may be on and hesitates about taking off. Sort of like the old method of holding your foot on the brake and accelerator simultaneously to prevent rolling back on a hill or to take off quicker when lights change. They did adjust the switch from 3mm to 6.5mm. Time will tell whether this has made a difference.
