How to Turn Off the Daytime Running Lights on the Haval Big Dog?
3 Answers
You can turn them off by activating the vehicle's position lights, license plate lights, or headlights. Generally, when the left or right turn signal is activated on this vehicle, it will also trigger the daytime running light on the same side to turn off.
As a car enthusiast, I find the default daytime running lights on the Haval Big Dog quite bright, and sometimes I want to turn them off to reduce eye strain. If you remember the procedure, sit in the car, start the engine but don't turn on the headlights. Then look at the central touchscreen, go to the 'Settings' menu, and find the 'Vehicle' or 'Lighting' option. If there's a 'Daytime Running Lights' toggle, just tap it to turn them off—newer Haval models usually have this feature. If you can't find the option, it might be designed not to allow turning them off, or you may need to visit a 4S dealership to adjust it with diagnostic tools; tampering with the fuse box yourself is risky, as a short circuit could cause trouble. Keeping them on is actually safer, as they alert pedestrians and other drivers during the day—it's not worth the risk of an accident if you turn them off. The most reliable way is to ask a technician during routine maintenance.
I've been driving the Haval Big Dog for a while, and the daytime running lights kept staying on. At first, I found it annoying, but later I learned how to turn them off. Here's a simple method: After ignition, without turning on any lights, use the control buttons on the steering wheel or enter the system settings on the central control screen. Look for the DRL option in the lighting section to turn it off. Most Haval models can be adjusted this way. If not, refer to the user manual or contact customer service. I don't recommend modifying it yourself—although pulling the fuse can temporarily turn off the lights, it may trigger error codes and is against regulations, as the law requires them to be on for safety. I've gotten used to leaving them on; it makes me more visible to others and avoids fines. Just get used to it. No need to mess around unnecessarily.
