How to Turn Off the Daytime Running Lights on a Civic?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the daytime running lights on a Civic is: switching off the power mode will deactivate the daytime running lights. The Civic shares the same production platform as the existing Dongfeng Honda model, the Honda CR-V, with body dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height. The Civic is equipped with 1.0T and 1.5T turbocharged engines. The 1.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 173 Nm, while the 1.5T engine offers a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. Both engines are paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Last time I helped a friend research the daytime running lights issue on the Civic. The simplest method is to start the vehicle, locate the vehicle settings menu in the infotainment screen, and find the DRL switch in the lighting options to turn it off directly. However, note that Civic configurations vary by model year - for example, post-2021 models can generally adjust this in the vehicle system, while older models may require using a diagnostic scanner to access hidden functions. If you really can't figure it out, you can directly visit the dealership and have technicians use professional equipment to disable it, which typically takes about ten minutes. Honestly though, DRLs improve daytime visibility by about 30%, so for safety reasons I generally don't recommend permanently disabling them unless there's special requirements. Modifying the wiring is even less advisable as it may trigger fault codes.
