DayTime Running Lamp Mode?

Under "Daytime Running Lamp Mode", my 2002 SL500 manual states "When the engine is running and the selector lever is in a driving position, the low beam headlamps are automatically switched on." But my headlamps don't turn on. Does this apply only to halogens? Mine are Xenon.

Some kind folks on another forum stated the running lamp mode works only on Canadian MB's.

Mine do work as described when the selector is on the "auto" mode. The second notch from the left I seem to recall.
