Kia Optima: Headlight escort function
The headlights (and/or taillights) will remain on for approximately 20 minutes after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if the driver’s door is opened and closed, the headlights are turned off after 30 seconds. The headlights can be turned off by pressing the lock button on the transmitter (or smart key) twice or turning off the light switch from the headlight or Auto light position.
