Day Time Lights
OK, dumb question here. I see how to trun on my daytime headlights but I don't want them on. How do I turn on daytime running lights? The big ring of lights around the headlights? Other than turning the running lights on with the **** (activates all of them) I can't figure it out.
Maybe the previous owner turned them off in forscan? Someone has been playing with those settings because I own the only truck I've ever seen (modern day) that does not beep, honk or fart at me when I get in.... It's totally silent other than the double honk when I leave it running and walk away with the fob in pocket.
How tough is forscan to learn? I'm pretty sure I'd wind up making a change that turns it into a Tesla.......

On my unmodified 2022, the DRL's come on when all of the following conditions are met. The headlight switch is in the Auto position (fully clockwise), the ambient light is bright enough to keep the headlights off, the tranmission is out of Park.

Only option in Settings on mine is "Daytime Lights". That turns on daytime headlights. If I unselect that option and leave the **** in Auto I get nothing in the daytime.
So it's headlights or nothing.

If you don't get any dings and chimes it's possible the PO made some changes. Not sure why they would make the DRL's operate that way.

Do you have halogen headlights? If you do, then what @JoeUser said is correct.
If you have LED headlights then they should behave as I mentioned unless the truck settings have been modified (on the dash or FORScan).

Anything else isn't going to be user controllable without some sort of mods.
