I leased a 2019 Mazda CX-9 GT AWD about a month ago. I always keep the headlights on Auto. I am seeing that the headlights do not turn on even when it is cloudy and raining. They turn on only when it is totally dark, like at 9:00 PM. I have tried adjusting the Auto-light control under Lighting to Low and High settings, but no effect. When I had leased the car initially, the auto mode used to work fine and the headlights used to turn on even when it was dawn/dusk or the car was under an overpass. So, something has gone wrong in the last couple of weeks. Anyone else having same issue?
Also, I cannot understand the Auto-light control setting definition. In the manual, on page 9-14, it is defined as "Timing by which lights turn on". So, does this mean that if I keep it on Low setting, the headlights will turn on quicker or is it the other way round? I want the headlights to stay on as much as possible. State law requires that headlights must be on when wipers are on. Just DRLs are not acceptable because they want taillights to be also on.
Many thanks,
Arun
