When I leave my headlights on and leave my vehicle they stay on without
any kind of "buzzer" to let me know.

I tryed sitting there for 5 min, but they never went off. Did Toyota
forget something?

My 2004 4Runner's shut off automatically after I exit the vehicle.  They
stay on for awhile, but I've never timed it.  If I lock the door with the
remote, they turn off right away.  Are you actually sitting in your 4Runner
when this happens, or are you waiting outside of it for them to turn off.
Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

My Tacoma is the same,  no buzzer,  but if i take the keys out and close the
door,  they shut off automatically.

Sort of a related topic -
I ran my '04 4-Runner down to nearly empty on the gas gauge, and no warning
light or buzzer ever activated.  What's up with that?  Hasn't a low fuel level
alert been pretty standard on every car built in the last 20 years?  I have
found those little lights to be a lot more practical than carrying around a
couple extra gallons of gas in a can...

You have a low fuel light, it just doesn't come on until you are
down to about 2 gallons.  Far too low in my opinion.

The light is just below and to the left of the fuel guage.  It's just a
small round amber light that comes on, I don't remember for sure, but I
don't think it actually says low fuel or anything useful.

Two gallons?  Sheesh, that's like less than 40 miles (now equivalent to $4).  Thanks
for the info.  Not sure I'll ever be brave enough to take it that low just to see it
light up though!
