Quick question regarding daytime running lights on the W211 E320

Is it normal for all my lights to come on (headlights, tail lights, parking lights) in Canada?

I was under that the DRL's would just be a small set of driving lights in the front. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Check the Lighting section of the manual. I know that day lights are configurable (on / off) in the lighting sub menu and that should only be for the front lights.

I will check next time i am out.

I think that is an option only in the USA (or anywhere outside of Canada)...

My manual states that only the front headlights should come on, but everything seems to be lighting up (except the interiors)

hmm, on your steering wheel, press the buttons on the left side, there are arrows, and two lil screened buttons, press the screen ones, and go up to where it was to reset blah blah blah....click on any arrow on the left, and go to lighting, scrool through there, it should be in there, and you can make adjustments by presssing arrows on left side of wheel, hope this was clear

Yeah... I know where it is, but it is disabled on canadian spec cars (you can't change the DRL setting to off).

I just want to know if all the lights should be going on, instead of just the low beams.

EEK!!
