JKeaton:
I recently purchased a 2015 Dodge Journey. After getting pulled over for not having my head lights on, I searched the net and found this forum. After reading your response, I called my dealer and asked if they could activate the auto head light option via the starscan tool. Needless to say, they thought I had lost it. Never heard of it, was their response. So, not to be one to give up, I called the 800 number for Chrysler in my manual. Apparently, their C/S dept just uses the manual to answer customer questions. No help there. I asked her if there was a technical support department. Nope, nothing there either. I agree with you that most likely it's a matter of turning on "something". The knob to turn the lights on is just missing the word "auto" and it would be the same. I imagine if they turned on the option they would just replace the knob to include one that had the word "auto" to the far left.
Is there something else I might be able to do? I would appreciate any help. My old car had the auto lights and I'm have difficulties remembering to turn them on. Turning off gives me a little jingle!
Thanks,
Mary
