Default Dome/Interior light, time out/auto off feature

Do the 08-09 Civics, hybrid or conventional, have the feature that shuts off the dome lights after a prolonged period, in case you accidentally leave them on?

If so does anyone know what the time period is and what trims included this feature?

No they don't.

One time I went to visit my gf at school and parked my car in the visitor's lot. I guess I got something out of the glove box (don't remember) because I left my map light on all night. I came out to my car the next morning and my car started up without a problem, without me even knowing what happened. My gf called 45 minutes later while I was on the way home and said that her college's security department had left her a voicemail in the middle of the night saying I left my interior light on. (Visitors have to register at Security building to park in the lot, and they take the license plate number, the person your visiting's name and their number). When she called and told me that, I looked up, and sure enough, my map light was on. I turned it off. I was really surprised my battery didn't die, or that the car didn't even struggle when I started it.
