Does having headlights on auto all the time take extra from the battery ?

What key things should I be aware of to avoid draining the battery ?

My knowledge level is not leaving the lights on !

Setting the switch to auto makes no difference at all . It’s difficult to leave anything switched on , as all the interior lights and boot light time out after approximately 20 mins . Just make sure the map reading lights are off . These can be left on accidentally. I suppose you could disconnect the battery , but it means lifting the false floor under the driver’s feet each time.
