DRL

[Mike Morrison]

Are there DRL at the rear of the the Grenadier? We always drive with lights on Auto and were driving in pissing rain but it was not dark enough for the lights to switch to on. Friends driving behind us could not see us. But disconcerting when you think your visibly to other motorists but you’re not.

There are no DRL on the rear of the Grenadier. To be honest I'm not aware of any current market vehicle that has rear DRL, that function is only a feature of the front lighting system ( in the UK). No doubt I will be proved wrong again.

It is not part of the DRL requirements for the rear marker lights to be on.

I never use the Auto function on the lights, they are either switched on or switched off, as I do not trust it to make sensible decisions and that goes for all car makes. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/daytime-running-lights/daytime-running-lights

BMWs mostly have the option through iDrive to have the rear lights DRL.
Canada/Scandinavia vehicles have a different set of rules.

I always remember the older Volvos having their sidelights on. Very sensible. That and he invented the seatbelt as well made a real difference.

See I knew I was going to be wrong

I find the Grenadier's switchover point to turn the headlights on is much lower than most other cars I drive.
Some vehicles will automatically turn the headlights on when the windscreen wipers have been active for longer than a defined period.
