Chevrolet Equinox Owners Manual: Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, if the parking lamps or headlamps have been manually left on. This protects against draining the battery. To restart the 10-minute timer, turn the exterior lamp control to the off position and then back to the parking lamp or headlamp position.
To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the ignition must be on or in ACC/ACCESSORY.
