This technology seems to elude FOMOCO vehicles for the most part.
If you want the engine running ad the headlights off, just turn the headlight switch off and apply the parking brake. Now if DOT adopt the Canada standard of when the windshield wipers are on the all the exterior running lights are on. Even better would would be auto position on the light switch and auto windshield wipers like my Jetta has.
