Daytime running lights

I just got my 2014 SV with halogen lights
I've been reading bout daytime running lights - but I don't think my car is equipped with it

I'm hoping I don't have it because I don't see it being on in the daytime.
Or it could be malfunction

Does the 2014 SV have DRL?

Watch the battery draw on the halogens if tight on range.

You'll never even notice the difference in range with them on... It is mere drop in the bucket.

Indeed. High power halogen bulbs are around 50W each, standard halogens around 30W. This means having two high power halogens would take off about 1mi from 100-0% if they were always on. If you're counting every mile, sure, it's noticeable. Better make sure you use the restroom before you drive though, don't want all that extra water weight in the car.
