I have a Clio Dynamique 2015 Reg. Three times I have found the battery dead on a morning. The fourth time I had put the car away and later in the evening saw that the headlights had come on, so I assume that this is what is draining the battery. Mechanics at garage where I bought it have had it for two weeks and cannot find a problem.
Anyone else had this problem?

Dipped beam headlight relay is in the fuse box on the right side of the battery undo the two torx screws the lid is a bit fiddly but does come out the relay for Dipped beam is 3rd relay in from the right use long nose pliers if lights have been on for a long time relay will be very hot

My Clio headlights were permanently on even when the ignition key was out and the doors locked.Ifollowed the the same procedure as I do with my computer when it locks up (turn it off and wait) with the car I disconnected the battery and left it for an hour when I reconnected the battery all was working

My 1.5 2006 dynamic s does the same ish. When I turn the lights off it takes ages for them to go off.

The cure for Clio 2008 onwards - both dipped headlights or both head lights not working or will not turn off.. Fuses all OK and 'dipped beam' or 'full beam’ illuminated as normal on dash board.
I traced the fault to a relay. The relay/fuse box sits on the top of the offside wing. right hand side of the battery. Not the fuse box in front of the battery. Access by unscrewing the two 'star headed' screws, the lid can then be removed.
I advise the use of a Haynes Manual fuse/relay-box diagram to identify the correct relay, since inside the box are two bank of relays and two banks of fuses. Each relay has a part number indented on its top surface - take care not to obliterate the part number! Each relay is very difficult to pull vertical. It proved easier to pull all out in turn from the rows end. Place them so they can be returned in the correct order.
Tip …. Check the water gulley is clear below the windscreen. If blocked water tends to overflow onto the relay/fuse box. Apparently access of damp getting into the relay/fuse box can blow a relay.

They're automatic. Check the manual for info on how to turn the feature off.

Switch ignition on, turn headlight switch from 0 to sidelights twice, you will here a beep and then the auto lights are switched off. hope this helps.

I am experiencing the same problem with my renault clio 1.2. ('04 reg)

Last night I went to start my car and the battery was flat, when I got it started the headlights wouldn't turn off. I tried it again this morning and the problem is still there. I would really appreciate any advice on how to fix this.

Thanks
