Lights flashing
Hello
I have had my Citadel Awd now for 2 weeks and when I went to the car wash, I discovered that when I spray the door handle and mirror with water, my signals flash and the lights stay on for a minute, the key fob is in my pocket and the truck isnt locked. Seems odd that the lights would flash under this condition, but when I touch the door handle after unlocking the truck, the signals flash and the headlights stay on, same thing. Is this normal or is there a setting to change this?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Well the key fob in your pocket means that the car can sense your proximity and the water pressure may be high enough for the car to sense pressure on the handle; enough to activate the entry procedure which in your vehicle is obviously driver unlock, flash lights, and since you were in a presumably shaded wash bay, to activate the headlights. This behavior is no different than if you stood 15 feet away and hit the unlock button on the fob. Why would you find this odd?

I think water spray may pass the stastic electricity to the door handle to form a circuit which triggers the signals.
