At least in the Audi A2 3L's equivalent, if not identical system, this is not entirely true. I've had the engine auto-shutdown with my lights on, although obviously, much less consistently than with headlights off.
I hope Vekke won't be hampered too much by this headlight precondition, as afaik in his native Finland, having your headlights on at daytime is mandatory.

That I can confirm on the A2. Sometimes, in colder weather conditions, switching off the interior ventilator or the windscreen wiper when coming to a halt at a traffic light will make the difference between having the engine shut off and leaving it on
