yeah I know what you mean they do come on automatically it just has to be nearly pick black before they do like you say it a pointless feature I'm surprised RR didn't jump on it sooner |

I don't see the point of auto headlights. If a driver can't decide if it's dark then they probably shouldn't be driving. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

An older Jaguar has a knob you can adjust the point which it comes on at. And this works ok.

Ah, rain sensor. That's another annoyance for me - auto wipers. They're always either too slow or too fast for the conditions.

I always drive with the lights on, every time. With regards the auto wipers. I found them annoyingly sensitive (no pun intended), so I switched mine off with the IID tool. So it’s alls done retro style with a commanded single sweep or an intermittent sweep. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue. |

I did that with on my old TDV8. The IID wouldn't work with my SDV6 for some reason so I can't do it with this one. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

push the wiper stalk all the way down, so you know its in the OFF pos.

found out you can not change settings for auto headlamps but also found out thati believe the light sensor for the A/C and the lights is that little dome in the top centre of the dash, up close to the windscreen near what looks like a speaker grill - it needs to be able to see the sky at all times so make sure nothing is covering it and it is clean. |
