I've been driving for several years, including Volkswagen models. Regarding the daytime running lights (DRLs) on the 2021 Sagitar, they automatically turn on when the vehicle starts as a safety feature to make your car more visible to other drivers. However, in certain situations like short stays in parking lots or when you prefer a lower profile, many people ask how to turn them off. The actual steps are quite simple: first, start the vehicle, then locate the 'Settings' menu on the central touchscreen. Tap into it, select the 'Vehicle' option, and go to the 'Exterior Lighting' section. There should be a toggle switch for 'Daytime Running Lights' – just turn it off. However, I must remind you that keeping them off long-term may affect driving safety and could even violate regulations in some regions. If you can't find the option in the settings menu, it might be due to different vehicle configurations. Check the owner's manual or visit a 4S shop to verify if there's a software update available.
As a young car owner who enjoys tinkering with settings after buying my 21 Sagitar, turning off the daytime running lights (DRL) is actually quite simple: After starting the engine, tap the screen to enter the main menu, scroll to and select the 'Car' icon, choose 'Lights' under 'Settings', and you'll find the DRL switch - just toggle it off. That said, keeping them on during daytime helps alert pedestrians of your approaching vehicle, significantly improving safety, especially in urban traffic jams. I'd recommend only turning them off briefly when necessary, as prolonged deactivation might be mistaken for a vehicle malfunction. I've discussed this with friends - some mentioned getting dashboard warning alerts after disabling DRLs, in which case you should promptly check fuse or bulb connection issues.
