The CXD is the only model SVX that has auto lights, i.e. there is a light sensor that automatically puts on the headlights if the sensor detects darkness.

Phil [B3LHA] who has had a CXD like forever reckons it is a feature that can create confusion as it tends to flash on the lights as you pass under a bridge, which can be misinterpreted by on-coming drivers.

In your case I suspect you have left on the parking lights, there is a separate switch and if switched on they stay on regardless of the ignition switch. It is situated right beside the mirror control switch, right side of dash. I never liked the location of it. You don't see if it is on as you leave the car, and a flat battery is the result.
