Found car parked with headlights on

Went to garage for morning coffee run and found my cars headlights and tail lights on. Not sure what to make of that as the headlight switch was in the auto position but more importantly the car was off. Could a button on the remote so that, like the keys in my pocket pushed something? Just trying to figure out why the headlights are on.

If you hit the lock or unlock your "Welcome home" should activate.

If you hit the turn signal or flash to pass before you get out of the car various things happen. I forget what does what. You possibly bumped it on way out.

That's basically "Welcome Home" but just on one side.

My fob has a button under the trunk release with a diamond on it, pushing it turns angel eyes and rear fogs on, even if the car is locked.

On my F10 this button turns on full headlighting, regardless of the position of any switches or controls on the interior.
