  1. Can anyone confirm which of these features is included with the 22 MY Kona EV?
    Regarding the second option, I know you can set the switch manually to "AUTO" but is not an "automatic safety function" on my 21MY; ie you can still drive with the drl's on and no tail lights (light or dark ambient conditions), which kind of skirts around the new rules trying to prevent "phantom vehicles".
    New lighting standard
    As of September 2021 the Canadian Vehicle Lighting Regulation will require that all new vehicles sold in Canada have one of the following:

    • tail lights that come on automatically with daytime running lights
    • headlights, tail lights, and side marker lights that turn on automatically in the dark
    • a dashboard that stays dark to alert the driver to turn on the lights
    This standard will apply to all new vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs, 3-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles and heavy trucks).
