RX330 interior light timer?

I notice that any lights that are left on either by leaving a door ajar or switch on will not turn off after a set length of time on my wifes RX330. I questioned the dealer about this, and they are adamant that Lexus vehicles are not equipped to turn off electrical components if inadvertently left on for an extended period of time. Being every vehicle I have owned for the past 10-15 years has had a timer that turned off any lights that were left on by accident, I find it hard to believe that Lexus would omit such an elementary feature. To clarify, I am not referring to the automatic headlights, but rather if the rear hatch or side doors are left open overnight leaving the interior lights illuminated until the battery ran down.

Can anyone here verify whether or not the dealer was correct?

Plagiarism at it's finest! :) Why would you re-post my question as your own, especially after it was already amswered?

Are you really that stupid or just mentally ill?
