We are having really bad weather in Miami this morning and I'm on my way to work and this lady tells me to put my window down, she says, "Good morning! Your car is really beautiful and everything but with this bad weather and the color of your car, you kind of blend in with the road and no one can see you from behind. Please turn your lights on." I freaked out. I had my lights on Auto. I guess it wasn't dark enough for them to turn on. Does this happen to DP owners? Have you checked this out? Can you imagine if someone just slams into me? But I also wonder, how can you not see my break lights? Was she being a bitch?

i have the auto lights on my 2k1 maxima...when it's a rainy weather, cloudy in the day...my auto lights doesn't turn on also...i have to turn it on myself....i'm not sure..but i think nissan uses the same sensors for the auto lights on their cars...

 

I think she was just trying to be helpful.

One quirk of our cars I've noticed, is that the auto headlights don't come on when you turn on the windshield wipers, like they do in our Grand Cherokee. You should always run your lights in the rain or fog, as this kind of weather really makes any car difficult to see at a distance. Low beams only, though.. the high beams will reflect off the rain/fog and reduce your visibility.

Just go to the dealership and get the sensitivity adjusted on your lights...there's 4 different settings.

That happens to me all the time. thx to your post I learned that the lights can be adjusted to turn on when it's a little lighter
