This is a pisser for me - our Chrysler minivan, which of course is also
sold in Canadia, doesn't have daylight running lights (DRL), which I
would be OK with, and doesn't have the headlights go on and off with
the ignition, which my Subaru does. So I did some searching to see if
there was a setting I could change to enable DRL, and found that the
only way to enable it is to tell the onboard computer that the car was
sold in Canada.
