The HMA service web site gives the specifications, but I did not see
anything about adjustments.

IMO, the response time is a tad fast and the lights will go off and on in
just seconds under some circumstances and yes, I'd like to see them on a
little sooner at times. If it had DRLs it would be less of a concern. Oh,
wait, we just discussed that.

missed the discussion, so this may be repetitive....why not just leave
lights in "on" position......On when running, off with ignition off....poor
mans DRL with added benefit of tail illumination...........ps is driver
involvement a bad thing nowadays? Hey, I can still parallel park, guess I
don't need that new offering that does it automatically.

Uh, because the lights stay on when you take the key out? I don't even get
a ding when the lights are on to let me know I'll be killing the battery.
Should I? My other cars will sound an alarm when I open the door, but my
Sonata does not.

As for parallel parking, I used to be able to get into a space shorter than
the car when I lived in the city. It is a skill that you start to lose
after long periods of non-use. I bet I don't do it a dozen times a year now
so I can't quite justify a $65k Lexus. .

 

What year Sonata do you have? The headlamps on my 99 would go off, but keep
the park lights on. Everything goes off on the 2003 and the 2007.

I have a 2007. Parking lights stay on. Hmmm, maybe I should get that
checked.

Sure do. The lights SOES turn off when your turn off the ignition. And I
have DRl too. In Canada, by law.

Yeah, get that checked. My 2006 and my neighbors 2007 both turn off the
headlights with the ignition, and when you remove the keys, the parking
lights turn off also.

LOL survival in the urban jungle! I call that manuever "parking by
braille"

Yup, I don't PP much anymore either. I had to do it on the left side (a bit
different) of a one way the other day...."like a glove!" I don't think
my teenage co-pilot has PP since her drivers test.

Hmm .... all lights turn off for my 2005 Tiburon. Just the way I like it.
My 2002 Elantra GT was the same way.

I can't think of a situation where I would want any lights on after I have
withdrawn the key and (presumably) locked the car.

My Buick ( as well as many other GM cars) has a delay that keeps the lights
on for a preset (and adjustable) time. Nice to have when in a dark
situation. The interior lights come on when you remove the key also. I
miss that at times, especially if I have a package on the seat or something
to grab.

 

Not adjustable. Sorry

The headlamps should turn off when you turn the ignition off. The
parking lamps should stay on until the key is out and the door is
opened, but should turn off at that time

Just to clarify- Is this with the switch in the "on" position or in the
"Auto" position?

For my '06 LX Sonata, the parking lights stay on in the "on" position even
with the key removed and the door open. In Auto, everything goes off when
the ignition is turned off. Parking lamps don't stay on at all.

I have a '06 Sonata LX and do not see "auto" position?? but the lights do
turn off, even in the "on" position, when the keys are not in and the door
been opened.
