vRS Auto headlight activation - yes or no?

[ukdiceman]

According to the Skoda car configurator the vRS has "Automatic headlight activation" as standard, however the demo car I have at the moment doesn't have them.

Can anyone confirm if ths vRS has it as standard?

Automatic headlight activation

Would they be meaning the DRL's that come on as soon as you turn the key ?

no auto active light on any of the fabias its a shame,really miss this the fabia as the bottom of the range superb has it!!!

[pipsyp]

Yeah auto lights is not even an option on the Fabia, is a shame as its quite a handy feature. Last two Golfs have had it and would really miss it if I didnt have it. Auto wipers arent so great. Auto dip mirror probably one of the best automotive inventions ever, all cars should have one!

One thing I would mention is that auto lights arent available on the Ibiza or Polo either. Their optional "convenience packs" only provide auto wipers and an auto dip mirror, they dont control the headlight activation. This is the same as the Octavias though you can pay a negligable sum to have the auto lights installed on these.

Is this not a case of the headlights coming on if you go over a certain speed (usually 85mph) for a certain distance?
