Just one question regarding "Delay Turning Headlights Off" as described in the Owner's Manual page 191:

When this feature is selected the driver can choose to
have the headlights remain on for 0, 30, 60, or 90 seconds
when exiting the vehicle. Press and hold the EVIC button
when in this display until 0, 30, 60, or 90 appears to make
your selection.

Does this means that I have to leave my headlights on in order to have them lit at all and after 0,30,60 or 90 seconds they turn off by themselfs?
Or, they should turn automatically on after I lock the car and remain lit for 0,30,60 or 90 seconds?

Turn off your headlights as they will turn themselvesoff after the delay.

My problem is that, although my Delay Turning Headlights Off is set to 60, after I turn headlights off, and lock the car, they do not turn on automatically. They just stay off. And so I do not have "follow home" function. On the other hand, when I unlock car, they turn on, and stay on for 60 sec (as the option is set) or until I start the engine.

You should check it once more, keep in mind, there are two different settings:
- Delay turning healigths off
- Turn headlights on with remote key unlock
Both can be set separately to 30/60/90 sec or off.
Seems like you have the second one set, but not the first one...

I don't know if it is the LTD or the "conv/sec. package" that has the "illuminated entry" feature where the interior and headlamps come on when you unlock and usually stay on until doors closed and key turned on. Kind of a nice feature, I think!

Checked. Both settings are set to 60 sec. But, headlights go on automatically only when unlocking the car, not when locking the car. Please confirm that, when "Delay Turning Headlights Off" is set to 60 (or anything else than 0), should turn on on locking and stay lit for 60 (or 30 or 90) seconds and then turn off. If it is so, I want to have that fixed together with ESP Off.

the way my cars worked, if you turned off the lights before you shut the engine off, they stayed off. If you turned the lights off after you turn the engine on they stayed on 30 sec i think. Both chryslers, but no timing adjusts tho.

Same here,that is the way mine is set up and it works. I have a Limited with sec/convience package. Keep us posted.
