This is regarding a new 2023 JLU High Tide purchased during June 2023. I've never had headlights with an 'auto' setting before and for the last two years, I've left it in the 'auto' setting and the headlight indicator looked like this at night:

As of a couple of days ago, the 'auto' setting now looks like this:

I'm no longer using 'auto' and just manually switching between the off setting and the first 'on' setting. Does anybody have any experience with this? It's kind of jarring to suddenly have to go back to thinking about turning the headlights on and off at night.

The green indicator with the downward facing lines is your fog lights. You've had your fog lights on for 2 years. Press the fog light switch to turn them on and off. It has the same symbol on it

The blue indicator is high beams. You know how to operate those.

Just turm off your fog light if there is no fog and turn off your hight beam.

Only 3 settings, Park light (marker light for you guys), light (the normal low and high beam) and auto.
Maybe this is a Canadian thing but I have no off :(
It is a Canadian thing. Automatic headlamps are required equipment as of 2021.

Pushing the stick forward while the lights are on also turns off and on auto high beams, you'll see a message in the center dash.
