Question about DRL. I am buying vehicle hybrid Xlt in US, for a reason to bring it back to Canada in a few. By Canadian standards DRL need to be active at all times. Is there a permanent switch or configuration I need to run on vehicle. And I just saw an add on feature on configuration that I could of add.

For US fleet customers, so their drivers can't turn DRL off. That's not a consumer option.

A dealer service center could probably configure it that way. Or Forscan and do it yourself.

IIRC the new Canadian DRL requirements also need the other marker lights to come on as well so it would need to be reprogrammed anyways.

Couldn't you just not change the settings so that DRL remains active at all times? That is how they work in the US by default, we just have the option to turn them off. Just don't turn them off?

What other light are you talking about? I have my 2X Canadian card with me and I don't see other lights to light up when vehicle in motion. Only DRL

https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transp...r-seats/using-your-vehicle-lights-see-be-seen

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
Although being imported versus original sale might make for an exception. And the Maverick defaults to autolamps so that might count as the second acceptable configuration?

O man. Tnx.
Its impossible to keep up with new regulation they come up while stay at home order.
Last year I checked all vehicles IOT register them in Canada and make sure warranty transfers as well only Ford qualify. All my vehicles lost their warranty and extended warranty plan as soon as I plate (aka Tag for US) them. Only Ford recognize warranty back and forth.
