Lights ON Reminder Question, 1996 Celica ST Options

[msk59]

Is there a reminder buzzer on our cars? The buzzer which reminds you that you left the lights ON when you turn the car off and take the keys out. If it does, mine is not working as it does not tell me the lights are ON when I shut the car off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mines a '94 GT and I don't have one, although I'm uncertain if it came that way or if it's just broke. my lights shut off automatically after a few minutes even if I leave them on and I most always turn them on even during the day. makes people more likely to see you sooner. maybe because the light from the lamps is travelling much faster than the car.

As I was serching the forums last night, I came across some Toyota Forums that suggested that some cars come equipped with lights shutting off as soon as you open the door. I didn't had time this morning to double check that so I will check it tonight if our cars are equipped with auto shut off system.

They are. None if my Celicas have ever beeped/dinged/gave me any sort of reminder at all that my lights were on but all USDM Celicas shut the lights off automatically when the door opens. Of course, there's room for error such as the relay failing, which could leave the lights on.

Thank You! that makes sense to me and glad they have that feature built into our cars.

Next mod is oil cooler with thermostatic control sandwich adapter. This adapter from JEGS is only 1 inch thick and fits our cars. WIll post full detail once I recieve the parts and start the mod.

My 95 shuts off the lights automatically when i open the door. But if i recall, it only works if the key is off the ignition. Not sure. I always remember to turn off the headlights so i rarely use that automatic features.
