Headlight reminder

The owners manual says (page 80) that if the headlight switch is turned on (or off then on in the case of an automatic light cutoff) with the driver's door open, a "buzzer will remind you to turn the lights off".

Mine doesn't work and I just wanted to check with other owners to make sure it was a defect before I take it to the dealer.

on my tC.. if i turn off the car and pull the keys out.. then open the door the lights shut off automatically.. i think it will buzz if you leave the keys in and open the door.. try that and see if it buzzzes..

there wouldn't be a point to buzzing if it turns it off automatically.. try leaving the keys in and opening the door.. let us know

welcome to the board!

yeah good point of buzzer that the keys are in.. i'll have to try that tomorrow and see if i can get it to buzz without the keys in and the door open.. i let ya know.. got me curious now

There is a headlight buzzer. As the manual says it will buzz if you turn your headlights after you open driver's door, or do it in any order other than what the manual says is required for the headlight auto-off feature to work.

So far I've tried every imaginable combination of key/switch/door sequence and haven't heard the buzzer once as a headlight reminder (but the buzzer DOES work as a "key in the ignition" reminder).

Sounds like a few others are getting the same results as I am, guess maybe it's not a defect, just an un-implemented feature

yeah, it's definately not just you. as for it being a defect, it probably is but it is not limited to just your car, it is a defect for all tCs. now you can rest easy.
