The daytime running lights of the Lynk & Co 06 can be turned off. Introduction to daytime running lights: They are lights that make the vehicle more easily recognizable during daytime driving. Their purpose is not to help the driver see the road better, but to alert others that a vehicle is approaching. Therefore, these lights are not illumination lights but signal lights. Functions of daytime running lights: Installing daytime running lights can make a car look cooler and more stylish, but their main benefit is not aesthetics—it's improving vehicle visibility. In many countries, using daytime running lights is mandatory. Studies show that they can reduce vehicle accidents by 12.4% and lower the chance of fatal accidents by 26.4%. In summary, the purpose of daytime running lights is to enhance traffic safety.
As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, I've always believed that daytime running lights are particularly important. The Lynk & Co 06's daytime running lights are designed to be on by default and cannot be directly turned off with a single button, primarily to enhance daytime visibility and reduce accidents. I've checked Lynk & Co's official documentation, which emphasizes that safety regulations require the lights to be on, so there's no external switch on the car. If you want to turn them off, you might need to go into the settings menu on the dashboard—try using the steering wheel buttons after starting the car to access the light control options and see if you can find the switch setting. However, I don't recommend turning them off because in rainy or foggy conditions, the lights significantly increase the chances of others seeing you, and turning them off poses too much risk. I always keep mine on when driving—it's hassle-free and safe. If you really want to tinker with it, it's best to consult professionals at a 4S shop; they might have a way but will likely warn you about the potential hazards.
I recently got my hands on a Lynk & Co 06, and curiosity drove me to research whether the daytime running lights (DRLs) can be turned off. I tried the settings menu in the car and found a vehicle option in the steering wheel controls. Clicking into it, I looked for the lighting settings section. Some owners mentioned needing to hold down several buttons simultaneously after turning on the ignition to access a hidden mode, but personally, I didn’t succeed—maybe due to different model configurations. Overall, I feel these lights are quite beneficial, making the car highly visible during the day and enhancing safety. If you really want to turn them off, check the user manual or forum discussions. Some forums mention using diagnostic tools to connect to the ECU and modify settings. Avoid tampering with the circuits yourself, as it could void the warranty or even blow a fuse. My preference is to keep the lights on for a more confident driving experience.
