Just picked up a new 2010 A3 this week. I have a question about the AUTO headlights.

I would assume that in AUTO mode, the headlights turn off during the day and on a dusk. In AUTO mode, my headlights are always on.

Is the sensor just very sensitive that even cloud cover will activate the headlights or could there be some kind of sensor issue?

@divx been trying to get a response for you from someone at the dealership. No luck I see.

I just posted a note on the facebook fan page. Have you been there?

Sorry for the late response, we actually never knew this forum existed.

The DRLs (daytime running lights) will stay on if your light switch is in the "0" or "Auto" position. If you would like to turn off the DRLs go to the car menu in MMI, select exterior lighting and switch DRL to off.

I hope you are enjoying the A3. Feel free to post any questions you have about the vehicle or just call in.
