2 Answers
The method to turn off the daytime running lights on a Focus is: 1. Open the door and sit in the driver's seat; 2. Use the left turn signal lever to indicate left; 3. Insert the key and turn it to the 'on' position, wait for 4 seconds until you hear a beep, then the lights will turn off. Taking the 2021 Focus Sedan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2705mm, fuel tank capacity 53l, and curb weight 1245kg. The 2021 Focus is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 174PS, maximum power of 128kW, maximum torque of 243Nm, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As an experienced car enthusiast, I've dealt with daytime running light (DRL) issues on the Ford Focus. For the latest Focus models like the 2022 version, you can easily turn them off through the center console menu: After starting the engine, go to the 'Settings' option on the center display, select 'Vehicle Settings', then look for 'Exterior Lighting' or a similar entry. Inside, you should find an 'Daytime Running Lights' toggle switch - simply turn it off. However, I must remind you that DRLs are a safety feature designed to make your vehicle more visible to others during daytime, and disabling them may increase accident risks. If you can't find the option, it might be a model-specific issue - some older Focus models require professional programming, such as using FORScan software connected to the OBD port to modify parameters. Overall, it's best to keep them on; only attempt to disable if absolutely necessary, as safety should always come first.
