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.

After driving for so many years, the Camry is my favorite. The daytime running lights are indeed quite convenient, but sometimes I want to turn them off. The simple method is to find the rotary switch next to the steering wheel after starting the car and turn it to the off position. If that doesn't work, check the vehicle settings—some models require adjustment through the dashboard menu. I think the design of these lights is great; they make the car more visible during the day and reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. However, I always want to save some electricity since keeping them on for long periods drains the battery faster, which isn't good for it. I recommend regularly checking if the control device is loose to avoid poor contact. When driving, stay patient and operate gently without twisting forcefully to prevent damaging the components. If the lights still won't turn off, it might be necessary to visit a repair shop to check for a short circuit in the wiring.

After driving the Camry for a while, I often pay attention to the daytime running lights switch. It's usually operated on the control stalk to the left of the steering wheel—just rotate it to 'off.' The newer Camry models might have added an automatic system, so you'd need to turn it off in the car's screen settings. I think these lights are great—they increase visibility during the day and have helped me avoid a few minor scrapes. But if you want to turn them off, remember to do it gently to avoid damaging the switch. Usually, using 'auto' mode is more convenient, as it can adjust automatically based on the light conditions. If the lights suddenly won't turn off, check the fuse box or have a technician inspect the wiring.
