Default Cayman S Fog lights as DRL

Are the 981 Cayman S fog lights supposed to function as DRL? I just received delivery of a 2016 CS, and the fog lights stay on even when the headlights are set to Off. They also stay on when the headlights are turned to any position, including pulled out (which I believe are supposed to turn on the fog lights). Is this normal?

Can you post a picture of your front end and the headlight switch?

The round LED lights below the headlights are not fog lights; they are DRLs and functioning as intended. The fog position on the light switch controls the rear fog light (if you look closely, the symbol shows the light pointing backward instead of forward).
