Constant headlamp mode...

[electron]

I hate it!

Looked in my manual, and it says you can change your settings using the steering wheel buttons. I checked my settings menu, and the Lighting is not an available setting.

The manual further says that in some areas mandates on Daytime Running Lights (DRL's) force the computer to not show that as an option.

Problem is, the Constant Headlamp Mode, is not DRL! Parking, Tail, Headlamps, and interior gauge and instrument lighting are on when the engine is on.

If the headlamp switch has an off position, the headlamps should be off.

So has anyone succesfully turned off the Constant Headlamp Mode when there's no option in the settings menu?

Thanks!

I read a post some time ago that the DRL can be disabled by removing a fuse(s) under the seat. I haven't investigated it any further but I also dislike my DRL for the reasons you listed. Please let me know the outcome.

If this is what you mean:

then no. My headlight switch is only O (off) - parking lights - Headlights on (totally unrelated - my switch does have the pull-out for the rear fog/inclement weather light)

but either in the O or headlights on position, the headlights are on. And there's no "Lighting" option in the settings menu to disable it.
