Do 2001 Chevrolet Malibu headlights come on automatically when the car is started?
Your question is a little ambiguous, but I have a 2001 Malibu and it has daytime running lights (for safety). So, my running lights are on during daylight and the headlights automatically come on at nighttime. You can turn the switch to shut them off if need be. I hope that helps!
What causes the battery light to come on when the headlights goes on?
Your alternator may not be putting out enough Amps to charge your battery and run your headlights as well. You can test this by measuring the voltage from the battery with a multimeter. With the car running the volts should be around 14 or more on a 12 volt battery. Try it with the lights on too.

If the headlights will come on bright it's probably the starter. If the lights are dim it may be the battery. If you try jumper cables and it won't start it's probably the starter.
