Exactly what features can I expect in my WK Trailhawk?

It does mate - they pop out as I described below, with every fifth or so spray of the windshield washer, or every spray of the windshield washer when the lights are on.

Likewise with self-levelling - it's an ADR requirement. If you start the car with in a dark place with the lights on and take a look at the light beam it does a sweep down then up. We have no manual control over light position like some cars do, but they'll adjust down if your nose is sitting a bit high compared to the rear. If your eyesight's keen, you can see them adjusting in response to bumps etc. while driving too

Ok Today's news.
The DRL's are there and operational - all automatic. It must be the aircraft pilot in me that learn't to never trust anything - especially if its 'automatic'.
Its a bit crazy that you cant really check something is working and there is no indicator.
But sure enough, armed with a second driver, they can be observed to work.

Whilst using said second driver we sent the truck around the now very slushy back yard.
No problems at all! Tried it in 'Auto' and 'Mud' all the same - perfect behaviour.
How do you like this for a theory. My LC200 spent years without going into Low range or having centre diff lock engaged. Then when they were activated things played up - like refusing to engage or refusing to dis-engage. So I got into the habit of cycling these buttons ON a few times per year just because I could. No more problems!
Is it possible that this Jeep has had such an easy life that the transmission has never had to deal with things like one wheel slipping?
After a couple of days of trying the back yard - for a total of less than 5 minutes - the juices/oils are flowing now and working A-OK.
Its a theory anyway.

And I found the build-sheet site that Farwest refered to, well I found one anyway:

Alas for my VIN it just returns 'Oops - Something went wrong'

Thanks again

LeCheese - thats one set of features I am looking forward to.
My last rig used to raise the nose when the caravan was dropped on. Because I had changed the light globes to LED I was always conscious to try and keep the headlights set so it didn't endanger oncoming. But then of course they were a bit short when there was no van on the back.
Now it will level itself AND adjust the lights - how good is that!

Not sure thats the Site but will dig up the copy of my biuld sheet and possibly it will have the site at the top of the print out....had everything from interior trim to suspension, tyre size the works....whatever the original owner ordered.

pslmate has the answer...right site...so not sure why yours doesnt come up

Thats the site for the build sheet, what you have probably done is mistake a "Zero" for an "Ohh" or mickey verta and sometimes an "I" for a "1" happens.......

Been a good info swap this thread as I found I had light washers and adjustable jobs, I also don't like Auto so not having my lights on Auto nor doing much night driving never noticed, can teach old dogs new tricks..................

One good thing about my rig is no air just springs with Nivomatts, so when i drop the van on the back it levels itself out, very handy but again no night driving being retired means I can sit back having a beer/wine/bourbon of an evening as things should be.

The Handy Site List:

Give the Australian site a miss as it provides no info thats of any use...

Oh and Welcome to the Mob, we have a lot of laughs and rarely any nasty stuff.
