ILS not coming on when unlocking

Hello the daytime running lights ( white strip) come when I unlock he car and it dark but not in the day, they only come on when you start the car. Can they be turned on so they come on when you unlock the car wether it's day or night??

I think you will find that this is by design. I haven't seen any settings to alter.

Mine is the same. I would also prefer that they came on when the car is unlocked like it did on my Ford.

They are part of the locator lighting system which is working only when is dark, so, as far as I know, you can`t make them work during daytime too.
