Some creature comforts are expected to be found in cars nowadays. One such thing is that headlights will automatically switch off when the key is pulled out of the ignition.
There's such setting on US models as can be seen on this photo:
Well, Canada is special once again, as even the Golf Wagon Highline trim doesn't get it. There are just two settings (no "Auto") on the switch: On or Off.
When it gets dark you have to turn the switch on, and every time you leave the car you have to remember to turn it off or face the possibility of a dead battery in the morning.
vw.ca doesn't have a good photo of this switch, as I guess, they had to Photoshop out the US-model photo.
Now I have one more thing to do myself in the car to make it they way it was designed, and not what VW Canada marketing people decided it to be.
