Headlight chimes on a Vue.

Hoping someone can help me on this one. I just got a Saturn Vue a bit
over a month ago and just found out that the thing has no headlight
chimes. If you don't turn out the lights, there's no warning and you
wind up with a dead battery. Called the dealership and he essentially
said, "Oh, yeah. Some of them don't have those. And you can't add
them on later."

Great. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought the thing. I'm going to
have them look it over to see if it's supposed to have the chime, but
if it doesn't it looks like I'm stuck with it.

So now I have two questions: Do some of them really come without
chimes? If so, can they be added?

Any help would be appreciated.

"Oh, yeah. Some of them don't have those. And you can't add them on
later."

Im not sure how to check if thats a fact or not. It might help if we
knew the year.

Something that it should do however is "auto off" any lights in 15min or
less. The auto off is is fairly common for GM vehicles now though I dont
know much about Vues.

Do you have the original radio? Seems to me that some
Saturns use the radio for the chimes....
