Is there a "Headlights Left On" chime on 2011 models?

I have an older Acura sedan which when the headlights are left on and you forget to turn it off and when opening the door to exit the car, it would have a warning chime alerting the driver that the headlights have been left on. I don't seem to have this on my canadian 2011 Sienna LE-4 cylinder. Is this a normal operation for all 2011 Sienna or is something defective with it? Please share your experiences with your 2011 Siennas

Most Toyotas don't have that chime- they just have auto-off headlights that either turn off when the driver door is opened or will shut off after about 30 seconds.

Agree with 98Camry. The headlights turn off automatically when the driver exits the vehicle.

More precisely, they turn off when the ignition is off and the driver's door opens, I believe (not picking nits, just clarifying!).

Almost

They turn off when the key is in any position other than ON/START AND when you open any door (at least thats how it is in our 02 Sienna w/ Auto Headlights)

AND, they turn back on when the engine is started and you release the ebrake.
