I was reading through the owner's manual and came across the feature that turns on the headlights when the wipers are turned on:

The Headlights On with Wipers feature can be enabled or disabled. Refer to ”Headlights On with Wipers,” under “Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4. (pg.121 R/T Owner's Manual)

Unlike other features that have supplemental instructions to enable for those without EVIC, the owner's manual only tells how to enable this feature in EVIC. Is this feature in fact only available in units equipped with EVIC, or is there in fact a way to enable this in units that have auto headlights and no EVIC?

You can get the error codes out without EVIC but I think personal settings have to be done thru the EVIC. Let me look something up and get back to you.

I think you have to have the EVIC for the lights to work with the wipers. Do you have the link for the 100+ tips and tricks yet? Some of the info is in the owners manual but some isn't.

My vehicle does not have EVIC and has the lights engaged when wipers activated feature. I did not turn it on and only figured it out because every time I turned the wipers on, my Radio display would dim.

Same. I believe this is standard on all models.

I don't know if mine come on with the wipers or not. Don't drive it in the rain.

I can also confirm that when I turn my wipers on (no matter what speed delay) my lights will auto turn on about 10 seconds later. I also do NOT have EVIC.

Same. I believe this is standard on all models.

This is for the trim(s) that have automatic headlights. [I think certain SE models do not have auto headlights]

And you must have the switch set in the "automatic" position if desired to have the lights activate with wipers on.

If the switch is set to "0" (off) no automatic lights w/ wipers on.

Yup, checked this morning and the headlights are enabled to come on with the wipers by default. I guess I should have checked first :icon_eek: The owner's manual confused me because it suggests that this feature must be enabled, and only has instructions to enable it in the EVIC, which my car doesn't have.

Thanks guys :guiness:

this feature can be turned on or off through the EVIC or a starMobile.
