Manual Page 45, Daytime running lamps:
Extract from first paragraph - The system does not turn on the tail lamps.........
Can anybody suggest a reason why if the weather is inclement and/or the in low lighting, the system should turn on the headlamps but not the tails lamps?
My car faces a wall when parked at home and until recently I had the lighting set to 'auto'.
I started the engine to reverse away from the wall, noticing without thinking, that the wall was lit. A mile or so later a following car stopped me to say my rear lights were not on. It was actually very dark, not just low light and as far as I was concerned I was well lit up!
I have tried checking, but the tail lights always seem to be on when switched to auto, except for that one occasion.
Not turning on tail lamps in low light conditions seem ridiculous so there must be some reason I am missing.
