    No, law is wipers on headlights must be on. Cruise is not recommended in snow and rain along with engine brake (common sense isn't so common anymore).

    On my 579 I could turn off the HOWO in the dashboard settings.

    I didn't even realize that was happening until one day in the daytime during a shower I noticed the dash lights go dim when I turned on the wipers.

    No, even the biggest fleets don't come with such stupid ideas.

    I’ve heard that Prime even limits the boost that the engine will make . Against the Detroit engineers advice. All in the name of the driver can’t be trusted
