Nevertheless, he said he “charged” the battery and that it appears to be fine now (which I don’t believe because since having the problem, I’ve gone on several 45+ minutes drives, which should have “charged” the battery, after which I was still experiencing the problem). ANYWAY, what I’d like to know is, hypothetically, if the headlamps were in the manual “on” position (which they were not), does the car automatically cut them off as a precaution after a certain amount of time? We have a Lexus that does so… Can't believe this bs. :|

I got the same reply. Tech said it showed my car's lights or whatever was left on. I said ' the car shuts everything off in 15 minutes'. Reply " I dunno".
Anyhow..they kept the car for a day to recharge it.
