Twilight Sentinel
With twilight sentinel on, my lights only come on if I start out in the dark, not if I start out in the light and drive util dark.
If I pull out of my lit garage into darkness, the lights do not come on.
If I start out in the dark, they automatically come on.
Is there somthing wrong? Or is that normal?

You cant via the DIC.You can pull the A2 fuse which disables the DRLs
C5Frederick had a more permanent fix bypassing some relays.

You're right - I just went out to the car amd the "approach lights" setting didn't affect the DRLs.
And I just figured out what the "approach lights" are. Life is good. I've only had the car a couple of months, and couldn't figure out what those were. (And yes, I've read the Owner Manual, but it wasn't particularly helpful in that regard.)

No, that is when you unlock the car by the key fob, the fogs and reverse lights will come on you light your approach to the car

Your lights should come on when the sensor detects a low light condition. So yes, when you pull out into the dark from a lit garage, the lights should come on. It may take a few seconds though for it to happen.

An example would be driving under a bridge or short tunnel. The sensors see it as a temporary condition and don't over react.
