The daytime running lights on the Lynk & Co 02 cannot be turned off as they automatically activate as a warning light. The only way to disable them is by removing the daytime running lights or installing an additional switch. Below are the usage instructions for the Lynk & Co 02 daytime running lights: 1. Rotate the wheel on the Lynk & Co 02 headlight combination switch to set the external lighting type. 2. When the automatic high beam is activated, the automatic high beam indicator on the driver's display lights up in white; when the automatic high beam is on, the indicator turns blue. After the automatic high beam is turned off, the headlight mode switches to low beam. 3. Pull the combination switch lever toward the steering wheel to flash the high and low beams; push the lever forward to enable continuous high beam lighting, which can only be activated when the light adjustment wheel is set to AUTO or headlight mode. When the high beam is on, the high beam indicator on the driver's display lights up in blue.

I've been driving the Lynk & Co 02 for many years. The daytime running lights (DRLs) are a safety feature, and I don't recommend turning them off. However, if you must disable them, after starting the car, tap the settings icon on the central display screen, select 'Vehicle Control' or 'Vehicle Information,' and look for the 'Lighting Settings' option. There might be a switch for the DRLs—simply turn it off.

Remember, DRLs enhance your vehicle's visibility during the day, reducing the risk of accidents, especially on cloudy or foggy days. Note that the lights will automatically reactivate every time you restart the car, requiring you to reset them. If you'd rather avoid the hassle, leaving them on is both convenient and safer.

If you can't find the option, it might be due to regulatory restrictions preventing deactivation. In that case, don't force it—visit a Lynk & Co service center and consult a technician for assistance.

As a daily commuter, when driving my Lynk & Co 02, I tried turning off the daytime running lights: after starting the car, switch menus using the button on the left side of the steering wheel or operate directly through the center console, enter settings to select vehicle light controls, and click the off button for the daytime running lights option. But honestly, leaving them on doesn't cause any issues and is actually practical, like when you forget to turn on the headlights, they still illuminate to alert others. My colleague complained about being more prone to minor accidents at night after turning them off and went through the hassle of turning them back on. My advice is not to mess with them unnecessarily; keeping the settings simple is sufficient.

Technical perspective on the Lynk & Co 02 daytime running lights issue: The system defaults to enabling the lighting circuit, and turning it off requires accessing the vehicle settings menu. Specifically, select the settings option on the central control screen, locate a section similar to lighting controls to toggle the daytime running lights, then save the settings. However, modifications may affect the ECU safety protocols and are not recommended for frequent disabling. Routine maintenance should focus on maintaining battery balance to prevent circuit aging from impacting functionality.

Experienced drivers remind to be cautious when turning off the Lynk & Co 02 daytime running lights: Open the central control menu to adjust the lighting options. If there is an on/off switch in the settings, you can directly turn it off, but it will restore upon startup. Keeping the lights on during cloudy days or on highways enhances visibility and prevents rear-end collisions, so why turn them off? If there is no option, don't force it—go to a 4S shop for inspection.

I often help friends with car issues. For the Lynk & Co 02 daytime running lights, here are simple steps: Go to settings, find the light management option to turn off, or try the steering wheel button combination to bring up the menu. After setting, remember to save and don't forget to turn on the headlights. It's best to read the relevant section of the user manual or consult a repair shop to ensure correctness.
