On my car the lights tend to stay on longer than on other auto light cars as it gets lighter, but take longer to come on as it gets dark. However when I see other Qashqais they have the same lights on/off, so I think it is a 'feature'. Good reminder about the adjustment option though.

The menu wording for adjusting auto lighting is standard, earlier, earliest or later.

I have the same problem, I have a Tekna 2015 and all of the suden the lights are on all the time, the only way to turn them off is by turning the off :? I have set to turn on the very latest and switch that few times but the front beams are still on, and yes is clear and sunny outside.
thanks!

Biggest problem with auto lights I find, is the inability to fully control the main beam, that is also on auto and tends to switch to dip when you come across any light source.

Love the auto high beam and dip function. However. When the stalk is pushed to auto and you want to flash someone as a thank you or as a command for them to go it seems you have to pull it all the way back towards you and then push it back to auto again after, OR is there another method? Its a pain in the proverbial.

Lusky, I have been using this method for 5 years now since new and for me it has worked well, your Brain just gets into a routine, I know of no other method - Dave 😉
