Hello. Just got a ST-Line a few days ago and was trying to figure out the daytime running light settings i have them turned to off but during day light hours in the “auto headlight” mode the headlights stay on. I thought it should only be the parking lights until the car senses it dark and then turns parking lights into headlights

Thankyou

Welcome, fortunately the settings for the headlights are same on the different trims. Depending on your environment the auto could still turn on during the day. Tunnels, overcast days, shade etc.

Really comes down to preference. Because of all the tunnels and bridges I drive through/under daily I just leave on auto.

They are constantly staying on even in full sun light with DRL set to off
