How to Turn Off the Daytime Running Lights on a Volvo XC40?

Volvo XC40 daytime running lights usually cannot be manually turned off. When the high beams or low beams are turned on, the daytime running lights will either dim or automatically turn off. Here is an introduction to daytime running lights: 1. Sit in the driver's seat, use the left turn signal lever to indicate left, then pull the high beam lever and hold it. Insert the key and turn it to power on (do not start the engine), wait for 4 seconds. You will hear a "ding" prompt sound. This will turn off the daytime running lights. 2.

Daytime running lights allow vehicles ahead to notice you immediately without being glaring or annoying. They significantly improve the safety of black cars, so it is not recommended to turn them off.
I often fiddle with car light settings while driving. The Volvo XC40's daytime running lights (DRLs) are on by default when you start the car, which is great for road safety. If you want to turn them off completely, you'll need to operate through the central control screen: after ignition, don't shift gears yet. First, tap the 'Settings' icon, find the 'Vehicle Status' menu, then go to the 'Lighting' option to toggle off the 'Daytime Running Lights' switch. Honestly though, I wouldn't recommend turning them off – these small lights can improve daytime visibility by 25%, especially useful on cloudy or rainy days. If you find them too bright, they'll automatically dim when you turn on the headlights at night, much smarter than older models.
