It seems like everytime I start up and drive off, my headlights are on . . . not the DRL's but the headlights. Of course, it's hard to check since they don't come on until the vehicle is put in gear (where you can't get out and look). So I don't notice until I see a reflection in the bumper of the car ahead of me. This happens in broad daylight.
I think my dash mounted sensor may be the culprit. Anybody else run into this?

This is caused by the daytime head-lights feature which reduces your insurance.
My Mercury Sable does the same thing.
So does my Jeep Renegade.

Aren't the DRL's the smaller white lights down in the bumper? You can see them in may avatar on the left. That's what I understood was supposed to be on in the daytime. That's the way it was on my H2. Now, my headlights are on all the time -- that doesn't seem right.

 I believe in 2007 they switched to the head lights as day time running lights on the H3. Not the running lights like on the H2!

Headlights are your DRL's but on a lower wattage lamp.

Well I'll be danged.
My Pappy used to tell me, "If one person tells you you're sick, you may ignore them. If three people tell you you're sick, you better lay down."
So, three of you have insured me that the main headlights are the DRL's. I guess should go with that. Does that mean the smaller white lights are fog lights only?

Yes, the smaller white lights are fog/driving lights only.
