Canadian GLK) Daylight running = Low beam always ON ?
Hello guys~
I really don't know.
If I set my car, to "Auto Headlight (A) or (O=off) then Low Beam is always turned on during daytime.
From my previous car,
If I set Headlight to "A=Auto" in daytime then Daylight(small light) would be run not turned on Low beam.
But for Canadian GLK model.
Headlight "Auto(A) = "Off(O)" and Always Low beam ON even during sunny day at the situation of Auto/OFF.
Is it normal?

are you in Canada or US.
In US you can disable DLR thru MDF, in Canada DRL is always on from what I read.
EDIT: didn't notice at first that yoh have Canadian GLK.

Even my old 1994 Ford Explorer 4x4 had the headlights on all the time, it was made in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.........Canadien law says "All vehicles MUST have the headlamps on"

Mine is Canadian model.
I also know it is by law.
The thing what I wanted to know is~ why DRL = Low beam.
My previous bmw 3 series, it has DRL but it was not "Low beam always ON"
It is "day running light with 5W", not 55w Halogen low beam or 35W Xenon Low beam.
Mine has OEM Bi-zenons and I don't want to turn its Xenon low beam on during daytime.
Some of benz models has DRL with 5W or 10W DRL not 55W/35W Low beam.
Why GLK has difference comparing with other benz models????

I guess DRL = low beam on MB. My xenons are on whenever I drive.
Bimmers and audis are exceptions now with angel eyes and LEDs as DRLs.
Isn't point of DRL to be visible? so till MB has a set of dedicated DLRs you'll have to deal with xenons being on during daytime or find mechanic who can disable it.

Found out today that in US with disabled DRL if you switch to parking light position (3 clicks from 12 oclock), xenons turn off.
Here are some more of discussion I was having on C-class forum regarding lights.
