"Headlights suggested"
I have a 1LT '07 6 spd and, odd as it may seem never drove in the dark until last week. I have the lights on "auto" because that's the way the car came. No big deal.
In driving from dusk to dark the "headlights suggested" message came up but I was unable to turn the headlights on. I pulled over and shut the car off (to read the owner's manual) and was confused. But, when I started the car back up the headlights came on with the switch on auto.
I searched this and do not understand if mine is working the way it's supposed to or not. Any suggestions helpful.

I'm not sure which way or to what position you turned your light switch to but I dont think you have a problem.....give it another try and make sure your not turning the switch towards you or to the position that automatically goes back to auto position once you release it........

the headlights suggested message comes on when shut the lights off.
Or if you're like me you shut the DRL's off and it gets dark.
Your's should have turned the lights on when you flicked the switch. Though, as I've often found, a quick "reboot" seems to fix most problems.
if it happens again take it to a dealer.
