<DIV>Yeah, what Brian said about DRLs, except maybe not at 80%. Automatic
lights respond to light levels and should turn on both front and rear.
Most if not all also have an instrument panel indicator so the driver can tell
if the automatic lights are on. They do not know when it is raining as
light levels in rain are usually above the level that turns on the lights.
It is still up to the driver to turn on lights in the rain.</DIV>

don’t know how all the auto mode lights work, but my ‘99 Chevy Tahoe has daytime
running lights and no auto mode. Daytime running lights are the front
headlights only and are always on at 80% brightness whenever the engine is
running and the parking brake is not set. I don’t consider these auto mode
lights. If I want my rear lights on and the headlights up to full
brightness when it is getting dark or when it is raining, I have to turn my
lights on manually. Daytime running lights are to make oncoming traffic
more visible in shaded areas.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style='FONT-FAMILY: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; COLOR: #333333'>Howard, I am glad
to hear that on your escape. The last four vehicles I have had would not turn on
the rear lights when the auto mode turned on the front lights. One of those
vehicles was a pickup truck. Now I am wondering what condition turns the lights
on in auto mode. Several years ago my wife was driving in a rainstorm while I
was behind her. When we stopped I raised the roof because she had no lights on.
She advised me real quick "I had them on auto mode". <BR>The next time you are
out in the daylight take a look at the oncoming traffic and see how many have
lights on the front but none on the rear, unless of course they are applying
their brakes. <BR>I am guessing now that the insurance explanation says it all.
I thought for sure that EPA had something to do with it. <BR>I guess I am just
getting too old, I am one of those people that just don't matter anymore.

I don't think a dangerous situation like that can be industrywide. My
Ford Escape turns on both front and rear in the auto mode.

<P class=MsoNormal>While we are talking about vehicle lights, please,
someone explain to me why or how anyone would want to have lights on the
front of their vehicle with no lights on the rear. It appears that this
condition is industrywide and seems to be always in the "AUTO" mode on the
headlight switch. <o:p></o:p></P></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV>
