Yes, it is possible to activate the DRL feature on a US spec C-Max, but it is not a straightforward task. My first attempt with a dealer resulted in some complicated reprogramming for the tech when he tried to activate the DRLs. When accessing the 'programmable parameters' wthin the BCM there is a line for 'daytime running lights', but it is locked out on this screen. Apparently if you try to activate them here then all sorts of other things get changed. The way to get them turned on is to highlight the DRL title line and click on that. There will then be a secondary screen with a drop down menu available to turn on the DRLs. The second dealer I went to knew about this. $55 plus tax to do it in 15 minutes while I waited. This method applies to all C platform vehicles and probably to other models as well. I also was in Montreal and spoke with a tech at a Canadian dealer who told me that ALL current Ford vehicles sold in Canada have them built in to there US counterparts. If the Canadians wholesale a vehicle in from the States then they have to be able to turn them on.
