How to turn off the daytime running lights on the 2018 Lavida Plus?

[CassandraFitz]

In the lighting settings option on the central control screen, there is an option to turn on the daytime running lights. Checking the box means turning them on, and unchecking it means turning them off. Daytime running lights are a common feature in many vehicles, and they are the lights that illuminate when driving during the day. More details are as follows: 1. Daytime running lights do not serve as illumination but help attract the attention of others, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents. Many cars are equipped with daytime running lights. 2. For most vehicles, the daytime running lights turn on as soon as the car is powered on, and they cannot be turned off in most cases. 3. Some car owners worry that daytime running lights consume too much electricity. In reality, these lights use LED sources, which consume very little power, so there is no need for concern.

I remember when I first got my Lavida Plus, I also spent some time figuring out how to turn off the daytime running lights. After some effort, I found the solution. From what I recall, it's operated via the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel: first press the 'menu' button to enter the main menu, locate the vehicle settings option, then scroll to the lighting section where there's a toggle for the daytime running lights. Selecting 'off' and confirming turns them off. After disabling them, I noticed a slight saving in power consumption, but after driving for a few days, I realized it wasn't safe—once during dusk another driver almost didn't see my car, which scared me into turning them back on immediately. Actually, daytime running lights are designed to enhance visibility during the day and reduce accident risks. Volkswagen models, including the 2018 Plus, have them enabled by default. Turning them off might even violate traffic regulations, so it's best to leave them on and not tamper with the settings.

As a Volkswagen owner who has driven different models, here's how I managed to turn off the daytime running lights on my Lavida Plus: After starting the engine, I used the info button on the right side of the steering wheel to access the display menu. Then I navigated step by step to the exterior lighting settings in the vehicle settings and switched the daytime running light option to off. Before attempting this, note that menu paths may vary across different versions. If you can't find the option, the system might be locked, requiring a visit to the dealership for a software reset. I found the process simple when I tried it, but don't waste time struggling with it. The electricity consumption of daytime running lights is actually minimal and costs almost nothing. Keeping them on helps other drivers spot your vehicle earlier in overcast or rainy conditions, making for safer driving – definitely worth it.

Turning off the daytime running lights on the 2018 Lavida Plus is not recommended as they enhance safety and reduce accidents. If necessary, try accessing the vehicle menu via the steering wheel buttons to disable the lighting options. While it's easy to turn off, it may be illegal or increase risks. Keeping them on is preferable. If you must disable them, quickly restore the settings to ensure smooth driving and avoid complications.

When dealing with the Lavida Plus lights, it was found that the daytime running lights cannot be turned off directly: start the vehicle, enter the settings menu from the display screen, find the light control section, and select the off option. Usually, it can be done in a few steps. If not, seek a professional shop for programming to solve the issue. Don't be too persistent in turning them off; keeping them on is valuable for improving road safety. It's more practical to check their status during maintenance to prevent problems.

When I first got my Lavida Plus, I always wanted to turn off the daytime running lights. Later, I figured it out through the car's menu: press the center console button, select settings, go to the lighting options, and turn them off. The process was simple, but after turning them off, I felt uncomfortable while driving. In low light conditions, my car became less noticeable, and when other drivers signaled, I couldn't see clearly, which scared me into turning them back on. Although small, daytime running lights play a big role—it's safer to keep them on. I suggest not bothering to turn them off to avoid having to turn them back on later.
