Clio mk3 auto lights?

Hi, I have recently found out how to activate automatic lights on my Renault Clio mk3, which is by flicking the lights stalk on and off twice while the ignition is off, however I am looking for clarification, will the lights activate when the car is unlocked and will they automatically switch off when the car is locked or will it have to be manual? TIA
