In AUTO, the lights turn on when it gets dark, and off when it gets light (It's in the manual). The LEDs on the pre 2016's are side lights. Post 2016 the LEDs are always on. There is a fix on the pre '16's to have the LEDs always on.

The DRL setting for Scandinavian and Canadian markets keep your low beams On all the time, even stalk are set for AUTO. It can be changed by SDD. I first set it off Sca / Can settings for normal mode, but then i changed it back, because i like that fellow drivers on traffic will notify me and don´t example change lane over me. Kind of same idea why motorbikers like to have bit louder exhaust, so truckkers can hear them. (tiny bike are hard to spot from mirrors)
