How to turn off the daytime running lights on a Golf car?

The daytime running lights on a Golf car cannot be turned off, and the daytime running lights cannot be turned off as they are a safety feature for daytime driving. If you want to turn off the daytime running lights, you need to use a specialized computer to change the coding, and only a 4S shop can perform this operation. The Golf is a small family car model introduced by Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4199mm in length, 1786mm in width, and 1479mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2578mm. In terms of appearance, the Golf adopts a family-style design concept, with a double-bar grille paired with sharp-angle headlights, creating a stylish yet stable look; the side profile features slender lines, and the rear is simple and robust, with LED taillights that enhance its visual appeal.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Golf for several years and often help friends with their car light issues. Daytime running lights are usually designed to turn on automatically, and to turn them off, you need to access the vehicle settings menu. The specific steps are: start the car, press and hold the button on the left side of the steering wheel or enter the settings on the central display screen, find the "Vehicle" or "Lighting" option, and there should be a switch for the daytime running lights that you can turn off. However, I must remind you that these lights improve your car's visibility during the day, and turning them off might increase the risk of accidents. I tried turning them off once to save some battery, but while driving on the highway, I felt ignored by other drivers several times, so I turned them back on later. I recommend keeping them on unless it's for a special occasion like taking car photos. Having them on significantly improves safety. If you can't find the option in the menu, it might be restricted by your car model, and you may need to check the manual or visit a professional shop with diagnostic tools to handle it. Safety comes first—life is much more important than saving a bit of electricity.
