Technical Daytime running lights

[jrkitching]

IIRC the option to disable the DRL's via a menu option was removed at or about the same time that DRL's became a mandatory fitment, so disabling them won't be possible on a 2023 car.

Would dispute that. Mine was registered Sept 23 and the on/off function I described earlier is available, although I agree it does seem a bit pointless. However the function was set to OFF when I purchased the car as new

I have a 500 purchased only a few months ago. Only today someone pointed out to me that the daytime lights were not working, which I hadn't realised until now.
The manual suggests that there is a menu setting to deactivate them. The only thing I can find is See Navigation. Is this the setting, or what does this mean? Suggestions appreciated

I have a 2012 Fiat 500 Lounge. My running lights need to be replaced, wiring has melted. I wish I knew that you can turn on/off via your menu. Just scroll through and you should find it. Hope this helps!

2023 will not have the option to disable them as far as I know

You know I've seen enough brand new cars to suspect that they are turned off like you say?
