How to Turn Off the Daytime Running Lights on a Camry?

Method to turn off the daytime running lights on a Camry: 1. Insert the car key and turn it to the position where only the radio is on. Pull the combination switch on the left side of the steering wheel toward the driver's direction while pulling it downward and hold it without releasing; 2. Turn on the car key, and after about 3 seconds, a 'dong' sound will indicate that the operation was successful; 3. If you want to turn this function back on, the method is similar to turning it off—simply pull the turn signal lever to the left. The Camry is a model under GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4900 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, and 1455 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825 mm. The newly redesigned Camry is built on the all-new TNGA platform, offering two styling options: a Luxury version and a Sport version, both inspired by Toyota's Keen Look design language.
A few days ago, I encountered an issue with the daytime running lights (DRLs) while driving my Camry—they kept turning on as soon as I started the car, which felt a bit power-consuming. After checking the owner’s manual, I found that most Camry models allow adjustment via the light control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel: simply rotate it to 'OFF' or 'AUTO' mode. If that doesn’t work, you may need to check the vehicle settings menu, such as the lighting options in the infotainment screen, and disable the DRL function. However, note that some newer models automatically enable DRLs for safety reasons, and forcibly turning them off could compromise safety. Avoid unplugging connectors directly, as this might blow a fuse and affect the headlight system. My advice is to avoid disabling them entirely—DRLs help alert other drivers during the day, reducing accident risks. Occasionally turning them off might save some battery life and extend the vehicle’s overall lifespan.
