I have a 2012 SL Rogue, and i am just wondering if it's normal for the auto headlights to go on/off during the day when entering a shaded area (like an underpass, or tree lined road). Previous cars i owned with auto lights where never this sensitive. should I have the dealer look at it, or is that a waste of time? if it's normal for nissan's than i guess i can live with it :gotme

it all depends how they programmed the sensitivity. jaguars are known for this. 2seconds in the shade, and they turn on.
call and ask to speak to the 'head ship foreman' and ask if they can tweak the timing via the CONSULT system.

Yep, it's normal for me. Can't find any rhyme or reason to it neither. The system and I often disagree on when the lights should be on/off. I've begun to suspect my Rogue is female given how frequently it changes it's mind about automatically turning on the headlights. :crazy:
