Default exterior lights - battery saver?

I have a 2013 Platinum. Yesterday, I mistakenly left my parking lights on all day (left on for ~12-13 hours) while at work. When I came back, I noticed I left the parking lights on (I didn't pay attention if the actual exterior parking lights were lit, but the light control **** was definitely left on the P< selection).

I know that the 2013 F150 has the "Battery Saver" feature, which auto turns off the interior lights after 10 or 30 mins, but no mention of the exterior lights.

My question: can anyone confirm if the exterior lights are automatically turned off after certain amount of time?


From pg 78 of the 2013 Owner's Manual:
Battery Saver
The battery saver shuts off the interior lamps 30 minutes after you
switch the ignition off if you leave a door open and leave the dome lamp
switch on. It shuts off the interior lamps after 10 minutes if you leave the
dome lamp switch off.

Awesome, thanks for the fast response. Unfortunately, sounds like I screwed myself, since the battery saver doesn't operate when parking lights are left on...:-/
