That's not an option, GTS/Turbo exclusive. For MY14 onwards, it is the LED headlight option though the DRL is on the outer ring of the headlight housing.

Even in auto at broad daylight? If so, you need to check the ambient light sensor to make sure nothing is blocking it.

You should definitely get the dealer to replace it under warranty. No reason to not have the DRL not working properly.

The ring light up only in the day, turns off when the low beam is on. The setting is to turn the DRL on and off in case you does not want it to light up as DRL.
