Yes, but you're in Canada. I don't know when DRL's became mandatory in
Canada but they are not in the US. Some manufacturers installed them,
some did not. My 2007 Toyota had them; my 2011 does not. Go figure.


OT but my 2000 Solara has a driver's window that goes all the way down
with one push, but requires holding the button to go up.

My friend's '99 Rav4 had a button that went up or down with one push,
a year earlier, cheaper car, but better switch, IMO.


Since they are not illegal in the US I'm surprised they are not
installed across the board.

One touch "up" was "outlawed" because it was too easy for a kid to
get caught in a window by bumping the switch.
