Default 2005 Volvo S60 Daytime Running Lights Operation

The dealer told me yes but I want to check with all of you.

On this particular model, when the lighting dial is turned to the 0 position, I noticed the little Green Led above and left of the **** for the parking lights is on, the headlights on, and red tail lights on.

Is it normal for both the headlights, and red tail lights to be on simultaneously? The manual makes no mention of rear red tail lights being on just that the low beams come on as daytime running lights automatically.

Thanks for the clarification.

I do not have Bi-Xenon headlights, just fyi.

So basically, I just leave the lighting dial set to 0 position, the small green LED stays on, and the car controls when, and how to illuminate the headlights based on the ambient lighting conditions?

And in the meantime, these red daytime lights in the tail section stay on all the time. I guess, there are separate red stop lights that only light when the brakes are applied?

DRL bug me and it's a sure way to pay more for bulbs.
I usually drive during day with parking lights.
