Newbie has some questions

[Luckyperera]

Hello,
I picked up 02 X5 month ago and I have couple issues.

1. Cannot figure out how to activate headlamp washer.
2. Low beam on 24/7 even if I choose automatic position.

Does anyone know how to fix these issues? I really don't like to go to the Dealer.

1-Headlamp washer: push in the end of the right steering wheel stalk
where it says "S"; that stands for Super Wash: will squirt windows and
headlights...uses lots of squirter. To just squirt the windshield, pull back
that right stalk gentle but firmly...every few windshield squirt actions also
squirts headlamps automatically.

2-You probably have the every popular DRLs on, as it is the
GWN. Dunno about "automatic"; I assume you can go to
highbeams when you want to...

First post question here gets a pass...I suggest reading the Manual:
that seldom cracked lil' black book in your glove box, or Linked Below,
Or found on Line #8 on the Contents/Index Page or Home Page of this
great site.

Daylight running lights are mandatory in Canadia which is OK but you don't get the rear lights on with that, I can't figure why you can't get all four corners lit for daylight running (of course BMW batteries are legendary). I've got a SAAB too and all the lights are on all the time, as are the panel lamps, I rarely have to switch the main lights on, only when it's really dark.

It threw me when I first drove the X5, scared me too when I realized I had no rears.

Read the manual, it would cover both those issues.
