Missing "Headlight cleaning system" for base Carrera 991

I just got my base 991 and found that it doesn't come with "headlight cleaning system", however, according to the official Canada website, it shows this should be a standard features:

Lighting SystemsBi-Xenon headlights including dynamic range adjustment and headlight cleaning system

Anyone from Canada who got a base 991 also has the same problem as mine?? What should I do?? I'm going to talk to my sales person next week as he's out town now.

I have it on my mb and I think I've used it once just to see how it is. If I could have, I would have ordered mine without it but it came in the package I ordered. Personally, I think the front looks a lot better without it.

Yeah, it looks more neat without it, but since it's a free feature, I do feel missing something of what I've paid.... I will try talk to the dealer to see if I can get any kind of compensation..

"The New 911" brochure/booklet that I got from my dealer says that the headlight cleaning system only comes with the optional PDLS. This is listed on page 46 of the book I have. I might be able to dig up a link to an electronic version of the booklet.

It does say Bi-Xenon headlights are standard on the new 911 models, but the headlight cleaning system is not mentioned until you get to the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) area. In that section it says "... Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) with the headlight-cleaning system is available as an option for all models..."

Thanks SoCalRick for info.

But in Porsche Canada website, I do find this:

The new 911 models are equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon headlights including a headlight cleaning system and dynamic range control. With dipped or main beam, the road ahead is illuminated more uniformly.

This also mentioned in the "Car configurator" standard features page...
