Pathway Lighting time - how to adjust?

[Tonitrus]

When I lock and leave my truck the head and tail lights stay on for quite a while. Where do I look to chage the time the lights stay lit?

You're looking for autolamp delay, from the Owner's Manual:

(The manual still refers to the old Sync layout, Just press Settings

)

Your choices are Off, 10, 20, 120 seconds.

I have the same problem. The lights stay on for 10 minutes before they shut off - even though I have the auto lamp set to off. Lots of people in our campground stop and inform me about the lights being on but I tell them it’s ok. The truck has a mind of its own. I’ll be going for my 20,000 mile maintenance soon so I’ll have the dealer check it out. I’ll post what they find.

Make sure you also turn off Welcome Lighting. The truck will see your keyfob or PAAK and wake up to greet you by turning on some exterior lights.

Also the Owners manual has this note when you turn off the vehicle: "Note: You can pull the turn signal toward you to manually switch off the autolamp exit delay."
I haven't tried it though.

The welcome lights should only be triggered when the key comes into range, not just being in range. I leave my fob in the truck and the welcome lights never come on.

Correct, but if he's walking around a campsite, I could see it going in and out of range and triggering. When I am working around my truck it does this quite often. That was my point, I should have been more specific.

Movement of the FOB is the trigger while in the range, I've noted it several times with my truck.
I turned off the welcome light function, if/when I need illumination I just tap the unlock button, that gives me the light I need.
