day time running light

I was doing a search....but don't seem to find the answer. Is there a way to turn off the daytime running light on the 04 c230K. I have try selecting "off" and "Auto" on the switch board the headlight still comes on.

Thank you

With the 05s it's done with the computer (buttons on stearing wheel), but it may be different with the 04. Check your manual.

1st, are you in the US, Canada, or Europe? This may affect the answers that people place on the board.

2nd, if you are in the US, do you have a 2004 or a 2004.5?
- The reason I ask this is that I have a 2004.5 and the way to turn off "daytime running lights" is to have the headlight switch to the "off" position. Having the switch on "auto", turns on the "daytime running lights" ONLY if there isn't enough light and the sensors detect that.

Keep in mind, I have bi-xenons, so if you don't have bi-xenons, my info doesn't necessarily apply.

Did the setting of the optional daytime running lights function change since '02? You use the MFD (multi-functional display!) to select the various vehicle settings including DRL's as someone else noted. DRL's, if selected, are on all the time, right, not just when there isn't enough light...
