Do the headlights stay on during the day?

i noticed when i have mine on auto they do rather stay on during the day even if its bright out. In my previous kia (sorento) they did not stay on during the day time as much as they do in my new telluride. doesnt bother me though i rather them on then off..lol good luck

On Automatic setting - they will stay on for a few minutes after starting, then turn off, if the sensor detects enough outside light. If the sensor does not detect enough outside light, the headlights will be on. If the wipers are in use, the headlights will be on regardless of the outside light (wipers in Automatic mode need to run fairly consistently before the lights turn on - i.e. takes more than a wipe or two because of tire spray from the car in front).

Of course, you can manually turn them on if you always prefer to have them on.

At some point, I plan to wire my fog lights to always be on when the car is on - kinda a redundant DRL; but also so the fogs stay on with high beams... old eyes like a lot of light

I keep mine always on (they do turn off after you shut off your car, so it doesn’t drain the battery, and there isn’t a “dummy bell”) so that I don’t have to transition them during rainy days/foggy days and times when I want my vehicle to be more visible. Love this feature on both my Optima and the Telluride.

Hmmm... wasn't aware of that... set mine to Automatic the day I picked it up and never tried any other position.

Didn't work that way in my Escape... if the lights were 'On' rather than 'Auto' - got the 'idiot chime'... if left on anyway, they would go off after 30 min to not drain battery; but just tested in the Telluride and goes off after the same short time delay as the Auto setting.

Yup!! It’s really freaking awesome. When I drive my mom’s Explorer her dummy bell dings like crazy and makes me irrationally irritated. No such nonsense with my Kia.

That is how my 15 Subaru was. Kept lights ON and they would turn OFF when I turned the car off.
